Founded in 1982, Rey de la Reza Architects, Inc. (RDLR) is recognized throughout Texas as a community-driven architectural firm providing design excellence and outstanding project management services in the Houston area.

With a 40-year history, the firm has been involved in the design of a variety of transit, commercial, educational, urban design, residential, and renovation projects and continues to provide exceptional service to public entities including: City of Houston, Fort Bend County, Houston Airport System, METRO, HCTRA, The Harris Center, numerous ISD’s, GSA, USPS and TxDOT. Our firm is certified MBE and Texas HUB. RDLR believes in community driven architecture. Capital investments should respond to user needs as well as benefit the overall community. RDLR looks beyond project limits to seek opportunities to enhance the public realm and create places for communities. We believe that good design is not contingent upon the schedule or budget but rather the result of an inclusive design process that includes stakeholders, community leaders and design and construction professionals. Successful projects reflect

cultural influences and are contextually sensitive. They are sustainable developments which are cost effective to maintain and operate.

Strong design solutions are the result of a collaborative, interactive process led by the design team that involves all stakeholders including users, community residents, transit agencies and specialty consultants. We are well versed at techniques for generating ideas in various settings. Careful attention is given to achieving a balance between building, surroundings, landscape, and site-specific issues.

Through an inclusive process, we involve active participants, first in the programming sessions, and later in design workshops. This results in an accelerated design process, where concrete design ideas are generated respecting the programmatic and budgetary constraints. The process creates client/user consensus at an early stage in the project.

Another benefit of this process is the creation of effective communications avenues among the participants.

Our Design Pholosophy

We believe housing should reflect meaningful design and serve as building blocks for communities to create memorable and lasting places. Our portfolio includes a variety of multi-family residential and single-family projects.

These building types include low-rise, garden-style, mid-rise, podium, high-rise, wrap, mixed-use, student housing, senior living and low-income housing developments.

We seek to create communities tied to place that residents are proud to call home. Context and insight into the particulars of place including topography, climate, program, client’s needs, aspirations, and culture are key considerations for each project design. The results are the inspiration of our process and the projects we create.

Through interactive sessions our team ensures we create designs that respond to each project’s needs.
