Established in 2003 and re-established in 2018, RSO was founded on the principal that Architecture is a tool for improving the lives of people, that design when applied with purpose and integrity can measurably improve the human condition for the client and the communities they engage. We believe design is a process to improve the world.

Our approach to design is based on two principals:  Challenge preconceptions to define the essence of the purpose, and the Inspiration of team of diverse experts to create unique solutions that go beyond the sum of its parts.

RSO as a practice was formed in response to the issues we have seen burdening many clients globally, where international firms only provide an initial vision and then leave it to “local” firms to implement—creating  a large gap between vision and the actual implementation.  This traditional model does not serve the best interests of the client and creates gaps that waste invaluable time and results in a “just good enough”.  RSO breaks this pattern by bringing our comprehensive team of international experts and allowing them to be ”on-Site” with the client, local firms and government agencies to develop and control the design implementation of the project in all phases of development, ensuring that the vision is built as intended.
