Architectural Digest features the Woolf Residence, an iconic home that epitomizes modernism and celebrates the unexpected. RIOS Creative Director and Partner Mark Rios and Guy Ringler, a renowned reproductive endocrinologist, lived in the Bel Air neighborhood for many years and once it came on the market it was an opportunity for them to play an active role in curating and reimagining the residence as their home and gathering space for friends and family. The renovated home honors the original design by John Elgin Woolf, a renowned architect who played a pivotal role in shaping Hollywood and the Los Angeles gay community from the 1950s to the 1970s. By blending modern updates with classic design elements, the home is enriched with delightful collections, pops of color, and intentional visual connections. This fusion of Woolf's history with the couple's commitment to authenticity and joy creates harmony and inspiration in everyday living. From bold interior selections to stylish hubs for entertaining, the Woolf Residence carries a continuous spirit of surprise and optimism throughout the home.

RIOS is collaborating with the City and County of Denver (DPR and DOTI), Downtown Denver Partnership, and other stakeholders to revitalize three blocks of Denver's downtown Skyline Park. The visioning process aims to reimagine Skyline Park into a welcoming and inclusive space that encapsulates Denver's vibrant spirit with the goal of creating a dynamic, inviting space for both visitors and residents, and establishing the park as a cultural destination within the city. The first phase of revitalizing this vision, Block 2, will focus on creating a vibrant plaza that incorporates elements honoring Colorado's landscape and Lawrence Halprin's original design from the 1960s Urban Renewal era. The plan addresses the park's challenges by integrating its historical landmarks and modern additions. It also aims to enliven downtown with new amenities such as a water feature and stage pavilion. The reimagined Skyline Park will feature more accessible, unobstructed views by removing barriers like stairways and walls, and adding green spaces for community activities.
