Richard Riveire ’83, an Outstanding Alumnus of Texas A&M University’s College of Architecture, now heads the Los Angeles office of the new RottetStudio, which is the successor to the dissolved DMJMRottet.
With partner Lauren Rottet, Riveire helped build DMJMRottet into a firm with a reputation for designs successful in responding to client needs and in setting new standards in highly competitive business requirements.
“The decision to start RottetStudio was engendered by my belief that a privately held structure is far more supportive of two important qualities we strive to achieve — creativity and agility,” said Rottet. “Going forward, our talented team of designers will continue to focus on delivering innovative solutions and personal service for our clients.”
“The majority of my associates will be joining me at RottetStudio,” said Rottet. “It is a full service, highly personalized, privately-held interior design and architecture firm.”
Riveire, a design professional with more than 20 years of experience shaping the modern workplace and interior architecture, holds a Master of Architecture degree and a Bachelor in Environmental Design degree from Texas A&M. His major projects include the 100,000-square meter headquarters for Korea Development Bank in Seoul, the Bank of China’s Shanghai headquarters, and offices for Pontiac Land developers in Singapore.
He also designs furniture and other products for respected contract manufacturers and has designed award-winning collections for Steelcase, Halcon and Martin Brattrud.
In addition to offices in Los Angeles, Houston, San Francisco, Washington, D.C. and Shanghai, RottetStudio will be opening a new office in New York.
