With an outstanding trajectory as designers, researchers, and educators, the firm’s principals bring a comprehensive vision to architectural development, combining innovation, academic training, and international-level professional experience.

Specializing in design, development, and project management, at RINO we offer customized architectural solutions for a distinguished clientele, including corporate enterprises, government agencies, and private clients with high expectations. Our approach is defined by the application of the highest quality standards, the implementation of cutting-edge technologies such as Revit, Rhinoceros, and Grasshopper, and a creative vision that spans from residential scale projects to large-scale urban developments.

We have participated and obtained distinctions in prestigious international competitions, such as the Beale Street Landing in Memphis, USA, and La Campa de los Ingleses in Bilbao, Spain, demonstrating our capacity to materialize projects of global reference. In addition, our collaboration with renowned firms such as Sauerbruch Hutton and our experience as WeWork's representative office in Argentina and Chile demonstrate our versatility and mastery of contemporary architecture.

Locally, we have developed a wide range of projects, from exclusive residences to large-scale urban developments, including work for the Government of the City of Buenos Aires and the National Ministry of Environment.
