What Rso Architecture Llc does

RSO Architecture LLC is a privately held, binational architecture and design firm founded in 2023, headquartered in Bellevue, Washington with a European office in Braga, Portugal. The firm provides master planning, schematic design, design development, and construction documentation services across five primary sectors: healthcare facilities (hospitals, clinics, infectious disease units, research centers), education and research campuses, residential and hospitality, mixed-use and destination developments, and industrial/workforce developments. Its client base includes sovereign healthcare clients (KSA Ministry of Health), academic institutions (San Jose State University, UCSD), major healthcare providers (Dallah Hospital, Almaarefa Teaching Hospital), global enterprise brands (Google, Aeon, Ruth's Chris), and private developers.

The firm's differentiation rests on evidence-based design principles applied to healthcare (with an academic collaboration with Stanford Learning Lab), creative learning environment design, and a track record in complex Public-Private Partnership healthcare delivery — most notably as the design architect for Al Ansar Hospital in Madinah, the first PPP hospital in Saudi Arabia to enter construction. Technical capabilities include advanced ventilation design for field hospitals, BIM-based design workflows, and full-scope interior design services. The firm operates with approximately 18 named professionals including a BIM specialist, multiple design architects, an urban design architect, and interior design architects, supported by a binational administrative structure.

RSO generates revenue through project-based professional services fees, with pricing custom to each engagement (no public fee schedules). Distribution is entirely via direct enterprise engagement — RFP responses, institutional relationships, and project referrals — supplemented by project portfolio visibility, earned media in architecture publications, and professional testimonials. The firm maintains no productized offerings, software products, or consumer-facing applications.
