Making a difference

RSO is built on the principle 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, enhance the cultural and natural

environment, and create sustainable economic value.  

In an ever increasingly commodity driven world, we

believe it is an imperative that our practice focus on

celebrating the uniqueness of each community and

original solutions that foster creativity, productivity, and

the well-being of those we serve.​

Based in Bellevue WA, USA, and with a branch office in

Braga, Portugal, the practice combines American and

European design expertise, leveraging international

innovations and best practices balanced with a sensitivity

and commitment to adapt to local conditions.
