RATIO Design connects people and place, shaping environments of purpose, beauty, and meaning.
We design for impact with teams that are interdisciplinary, engaging, curious and deeply immersed in the subtleties that make each project unique.
We design to cultivate connections.
Knowing and caring about a place - its people, history, culture, and ecology - are fundamental to design. Our Studios skillfully see, listen, ask questions, and seek opportunities. As thoughtful interpreters, we design places that are in harmony with their regions and active in their vitality.
We design informed by interdisciplinary wisdom. Shaping deeply relevant design solutions requires both specialized knowledge and expansive thought. We cultivate collaboration across all our disciplines and subject matter experts, avoiding blind spots and increasing possibilities.
We design in the open.
Design is a collective experience. We practice a transparent process with our clients and communities where all perspectives are welcome, and everyone moves toward impactful, creative solutions together.
We Design for Impact.
Our Recreation Centers Practice
Recreation centers play a vital role in community building and placemaking. It is where cultural heritage is shared, healthy lifestyles are cultivated, and lifelong friendships are fostered.
We love creating places where people of all ages or backgrounds can come together. From large scale recreational complexes to small impactful spaces, we design sustainable, comfortable environments that enhance a community’s quality of life.
