Smith & Rio

Positioned along the western edge of Tempe, AZ, Smith & Rio is the first building on a site which is part of a broader vision for the area. The five-story modern wrap harmonizes with its surroundings, featuring an articulated façade that echoes the local architectural character. Its expansive, ranch-inspired design and earthy tones create a rustic, warm, and inviting atmosphere while maintaining a sense of openness and light. Conceived during a time when working from home became essential, the design integrates ample spaces for productivity and comfort. Smith & Rio stands as a reflection of the innovation that defines this distinctive corner of Tempe.
