Architecture
The work of RIOS is deeply holistic, spanning disciplines with solutions that dissolve boundaries to create the unexpected. Architecture connects many forces, both those that are intrinsically tied to place, and those such as joy, nature, and humanity that are subtly harnessed to create unforgettable experiences.
Landscape Architecture
Our landscape architectural expertise draws from the rich opportunities presented at the intersection of place and culture. From a lush landscape at a private home, to an urban village complete with pocket parks and bike plazas, to an entire city park, our work is inextricably related to its context and users.
Interior Design
Working with a fearless and modern spirit, each interiors project has a unique character that creates an emotional connection between people and their environment. Our projects represent aesthetic integrity and individual expression by employing materials, color, and form in honest and unexpected ways.
Graphics and Branding
With each project we reveal the force driving our client’s vision. Customized branding and graphics capture an attitude, convey an ethos, and allow us to represent the nuance and eccentricities that make each client unique.
Environmental Graphics
As designers, we connect people to place. Our Experiential Graphic Design expertise encompasses wayfinding, information, and brand expression, along with rich graphic experiences that make places distinct and memorable.
Urban Design
We take a broad analytical view to rethink the role of development in our communities. In a world of increasing cultural, economic, and ecological complexity, we unite many voices to consider the health and welfare of natural and social systems with nuanced and accessible solutions.
Emerging Ideas
Our research and emerging ideas explore important topics informed by societal influences and trends that are driving the adaptation of cities and environments.
Video
Our video production services are designed to tell your story. We convey immersive experiences that represent the brand’s mission, aspirations, and values through primarily short format video stories. The medium of video fills the void between the physical and the imaginative and can be a valuable tool for marketing, fundraising, promotion, and documentation.
Products
We always say that architecture is more than just a building; it is everything in the designed environment. The products we create become a part of your daily rituals, helping to create new stories and enrich everyday experiences.
