Creative Director Spotlight • Mark Rios
Mark embraces his lifelong passion for pushing the traditional boundaries of the built environment. Drawing inspiration from artists like Milton Avery and Mary Fedden, he approaches each project holistically and creatively—embedding this bold ethos and philosophy into his leadership of the firm, as well as our residential designs.
Under Mark`s leadership, the practice has evolved to become a dynamic multidisciplinary studio, tackling projects across scales and disciplines. Throughout this evolution, Mark has remained deeply committed to fostering meaningful client relationships and empowering the next generation of Partners and Designers to lead projects with their own spirit.
His curiosity extends beyond the office walls into his personal sanctuary, where his carefully curated collection of books and objects reflect his multifaceted artistic vision and love of craft.

Home resonates deeply with who we are as designers. Our team is heartbroken over the loss in the city we call home affecting our employees, clients, and friends.
We are at work gathering information and answers to help our community with design and construction related questions and will share them as they are ready. If you have any questions, please DM us and we will add them to our outreach.
Please know that our entire RIOS team is here in support.
With love,
Mark Rios, Huay Wee, Sebastian Salvadó, Melanie Freeland
