Miró Rivera Architects

Miró Rivera Architects We believe that good design improves lives by connecting with nature and creating a sense of place.

Miró Rivera Architects is an internationally recognized architecture practice whose body of work exemplifies design excellence, blurs art and architecture, and reflects a unique sense of place. The studio offers a wide range of architectural services including: institutional, commercial, and residential architecture; urban planning; and interior design. Miró Rivera Architects has garnered over 100

design awards, including the AR Emerging Architecture Award; the Texas Architecture Firm Award; ArchDaily’s list of the “World’s Best Architects”; and 40 local, state and national awards from the American Institute of Architects. The firm has represented architecture from the United States at exhibitions across Europe, Asia, and Latin America; their work has been featured worldwide in numerous prestigious publications, including Architectural Digest, Architectural Record, and The New York Times. In 2020, the firm designed and published its first monograph, entitled Miró Rivera Architects: Building a New Arcadia, through University of Texas Press. Miró Rivera Architects views each project as a unique undertaking. Each work results from careful consideration of the particular requirements of the client, site and program. Woven into Miró Rivera’s diverse practice is a remarkable degree of craftsmanship, exacting proportions and a refined sense of materials and details. A consistent emphasis on natural light, transparency, and clear architectural progressions builds strong connections between interior and exterior. Miró Rivera’s approach emphasizes integrating basic, time-tested sustainable strategies into the core design of its projects. The studio’s principals are all LEED Accredited Professionals (LEED AP), and the firm’s residential and commercial projects have achieved top sustainability ratings from Austin Energy Green Building and the United States Green Building Council.
