Four decades, six studios, one RIOS
40 years of practice has taught us that the best places reveal their character over time, becoming more meaningful as people find new ways to use them. This pursuit of wonder guides everything we do. In 2025, we began 65 new projects across 42 cities in six countries. We celebrated our projects with 24 awards and features in Architectural Digest, Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and more that reflect both our clients’ ambition and our teams’ dedication to design excellence.
Destination Without a Ticket
Experience-driven districts are redefining city centers. The most successful districts weave into the rituals of daily life. RIOS is leading some of the country’s most high-profile district projects, where hospitality, retail, creative spaces, and public life intersect. The result: vibrant places that invite exploration and keep people coming back.
Bangkok Studios
Studios that Evolve with Content
Production culture is evolving fast. Virtual technology, new workflows, and changing economics demand facilities that respond rapidly. RIOS designs studios, soundstages, and broadcast facilities that adapt with technology—from entertainment production hubs to university media innovation spaces and public broadcasting stations. Our experience spans complex technology infrastructure, including NextGen TV broadcast standards, acoustically optimized environments, LED volumes for virtual production, and in-camera VFX stages. The right studio supports imagination and innovation, so the work can follow wherever inspiration leads.

The most challenging sites reveal the greatest opportunities. For four decades, RIOS has transformed complex urban landscapes into thriving environments where people and nature exist as one interconnected system.
