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.

Founder Ricardo Torres brings over fifteen years of professional experience, shaped by time at some of the most respected architecture and interior design studios in the country, including Lake | Flato Architects and Neal Beckstedt Studio in New York. His career includes a wide range of project types and scales: a new-build residence in Atlantic Beach, a historic remodel in Sag Harbor, and commercial, institutional, and residential projects completed with Lake | Flato, such as a museum in San Antonio, a park visitor center, and a private residence in West Texas, among a few others. This trajectory has instilled a deep understanding of both craft and context, balancing the refinement of interiors with the durability and cultural resonance of architecture.
