Description

RIOS is an international design collective. We are actively in pursuit of wonder within the design of the built environment.

We practice interconnected design across architecture, placemaking, and landscape architecture to define design as a continuum.  

We follow a process that begins with attunement, where program and context shape strong conceptual thinking to establish a holistically informed big idea through which we develop form, confirm function, and define experience as the basis on which to explore ecology, material, and tectonic expression. We are known for our bold solutions that are inclusive of the wider context and are ever mindful that an interdisciplinary approach to design brings about inclusive, resilient, and original solutions that ensure diversity and resilience.
