RIOS has earned an international reputation for its collaborative and multi-disciplinary approach, establishing an award-winning tradition across an unprecedented range of design disciplines. The firm’s Creative Directors—Mark Rios, FAIA, FASLA; Bob Hale, FAIA; Mark Motonaga; Jessamyn Davis, COO; Andy Lantz; and Sebastian Salvadó—comprise a team involved in every aspect of design, from practice to education. Since 1985, the architects, landscape architects, planners, and urban, interior, exhibit, graphic, and product designers at RIOS have been creating and telling stories through buildings, places, and products that are thoughtful, effective, and beautiful. In 2017, RCH Studios released its first book entitled Not Neutral: For Every Place, Its Story, a robust visual collection of the studio’s multi-disciplinary work, published by AMMO Books.
