Lush landscape is the ultimate luxury. Layered gardens, filtered light, and moving water are animated alongside daily moments like coffee in the morning sun, dinner under the stars, or a refreshing outdoor shower. Landscape makes home the place you never want to leave.

Sebastian Salvadó talks about architecture the way others might describe being in nature: as something felt before it’s understood. For the RIOS Creative Director and Partner, every residential project starts with immersion in a site’s topography, light, and how land is engaged.
His work dissolves boundaries between architecture, interiors, and landscape, designing homes that adapt to how people live. Drawing from Latin American traditions, Salvadó transforms humble materials into refined and contemporary forms. California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle informs his spaces, which favor warmth, texture, and materials that invite human touch.
In conversation, Salvadó reflects on the way surfing, an immersion in nature’s movement, carries into his designs, and how working across scales brings a civic sense of openness to the intimacy of home. Link in bio.
