00. E—    RT is a Dallas / New York practice working at the intersection of architecture and interiors.  We shape clear, considered work from layered contexts and complex constraints.  Projects span adaptive reuse and the public realm to ground-up residential, hospitality, and cultural work across rural landscapes and dense urban neighborhoods.  What may appear simple is the product of sweat, stacks of sketchbooks, and more than a few sleepless nights, resolving into analysis, precise planning, deliberate detail, and, yes, a happy client.  

We work directly with engineers, fabricators, and makers to draw on the expertise that drives every decision, technically, spatially, and materially.  When the scope demands it, our work stretches from siting to architecture and interiors to custom furniture, ensuring that each project is fully grounded in context and suspended over time. Regenerative strategies and high-performance criteria aren’t side notes but woven into the design arc from the jump.  Each commission is tuned to its setting and to the lives that will unfold there, seeking clarity in daily use and a character that grows richer with time.

And while much of the design world chases whatever trend is loudest that year, we prefer another route. Rather than amplify the noise of beige design trends, we pursue a quieter rigor, spaces that carry their weight over time; in use, in memory, and in place.  Design that reflects you.  Not Instagram.  (But please follow, like and subscribe!)

On the eighteenth floor of a Midtown East tower, two apartments, a two-bedroom and an adjoining one-bedroom, are combined to create a home that balances multigenerational living with the needs of a growing family.  The new plan provides an ensuite retreat for an aging mother-in-law while preserving openness and light for the young couple, both executives in fashion and advertising.  

Storage is conceived not as utility but as architecture itself, wardrobes unfolding as alcoves, millwork dissolving into wall planes, cabinetry doubling as display, expressing the ingenuity demanded by city living. Finishes pair natural stones with warm timber, accented by woven textures and brushed metals.  A curated mix of furniture and a growing art collection span history and ethos, lending warmth to a minimalist framework.   A study in austere minimalism and comfort, the project is contemporary yet restrained, with a character that feels unmistakably New York.
