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 DBE. 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.

Transforming Community Through Infrastructure Strong communities are built on quality infrastructure. Urban design, architecture, art, and landscaping are interwoven infrastructural elements that create lasting impacts on communities.

From the macro scale of interstate highways, toll roads, roadways, and bridges to the micro scale of sidewalks and bus stops, all infrastructure projects are opportunities to enhance the built environment, reflect community character and embrace universal accessibility.

Transit developments are especially transformative. Safe and accessible access to transit increases connectivity between residents, jobs, health care, schools, and businesses. Our team focuses on increased multimodal and interconnective transit solutions that serve as catalysts for economic, social, and environmental change, resulting in improved quality of life.

Next-Generation Learning Design has the ability to transform the way our next generation of leaders are educated for a promising future. Tomorrow’s leaders need interpersonal and self-directed skills.

We use design as the medium and technology as the means for building healthier relationships within learning communities. RDLR utilizes both indoor and outdoor spaces where informal learning can occur beyond the classroom.

Our firm also recognize that schools are integral to communities. They are hubs providing before and after class learning, health care, social support, athletic and cultural and events and even serving as voting polls.

Schools are where neighborhood and family ties are made. Our designs find ways to engage the community through open use of shared facilities, cultural and historical references and physical links to neighborhoods.

Communal Sense of Place Civic facilities are community anchors that draw people together through common purpose. There is a strong connection between communities and the buildings they inhabit, and that connection is a fundamental consideration in the design of civic facilities. Police / fire stations, libraries, parks, and public work buildings can evoke a strong sense of identity and pride in the community.

RDLR civic projects influence the public realm in a lasting and impactful manner while maintaining authenticity and character of the place.

Architecture for Social Change Architecture can enable and promote positive change in communities. Healthy communities are not static. They evolve physically and socially to meet needs. Through thoughtful planning, facilities provide environments that enable change to occur and architecture that conjures emotion and inspiration.

Facilities for non-profit organizations are unique in that they must be designed for function and for messaging. RDLR goes beyond meeting functional requirements. We interpret an organizations values and mission into architecture that addresses their societal issue as well as provides positive messages of hope.

Creating Communities Through Living Spaces 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 projects. These building types include low-rise, garden-style, mid-rise, podium, high-rise, wrap, mixed-use, student housing, senior living, transitional 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.

Culture and Heritage at our City Gateways Airports are our city’s gateways.

They give visitors a first impression of our region and a glimpse into the local culture and heritage. Airports are much more than transportation centers; they are also food courts, retail centers, art galleries, and economic development centers.

As the aging aviation infrastructure undergoes modernization, RDLR looks to elevate the passenger experience by injecting airports with local flavor that captures the spirit of the place through iconic and culturally relevant architectural design.
