What Rottet Studio does

Rottet Studio is a privately held international architecture and interior design firm founded in 2008 by Lauren Rottet, Richard Riveire, and David Davis, headquartered in Houston, Texas, and operating from offices in Houston, Los Angeles, New York, and Dallas. The firm delivers architecture, interior architecture, site planning, product design, graphic design, branding, and art curation services across five primary service modules: office interiors, hospitality, residential, retail/F&B, and bespoke architecture/structures, serving Fortune 500 enterprises (Goldman Sachs, Disney, Viacom, NYSE, Paul Hastings, Kirkland & Ellis, Target, BMC Software) and leading luxury hospitality and real estate brands (Four Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Viking Cruises, Belmond, Extell Development).

The firm's underlying technology stack is human-design-led rather than software-platform-led: project work is executed by tenured design professionals using standard architectural tools (with firm-wide Revit/BIM standards implemented by Associate Principal Taylor Mock), and proprietary value is concentrated in design methodology and the firm's intellectual property rather than in software. The Rottet Collection product line, launched in 2017 and operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary, extends the design IP into hand-crafted furniture, lighting, textiles, art, and accessories manufactured by the same producers used for leading luxury hospitality brands.

Rottet Studio generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no subscription or product-licensing economics disclosed. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales through direct client engagement, supported by industry awards, press coverage in design and luxury publications, and a portfolio-based marketing approach. The firm is WBE-certified, holds no external institutional investors per available disclosure, and has delivered over 90 million square feet of built design since founding.
