About Will Rieck

I am deeply passionate about architecture and its profound influence on the built environment. The multifaceted nature of architectural design significantly shapes the phenomenological experiences we encounter within our respective genius loci, enriching our connection to place and space. Throughout my career, I have been privileged to contribute to a diverse array of project typologies, including urban planning initiatives, high-rise core and shell developments, luxury condominiums, hospitality and entertainment venues such as hotels and casinos, life sciences facilities, forensic and specialized laboratory buildings, educational institutions spanning K–12 and higher education, correctional facilities, judicial complexes, public safety infrastructure, healthcare institutions, multi-building corporate campuses, sports arenas, high rise corporate, and most recently, a comprehensive multi-building state campus for the State of Texas. In addition to my architectural design experience, I have served as a Senior Project Manager on the owner\'s side for major capital projects. This role has equipped me with a strong foundation in budgeting, phasing, scheduling, and cost estimation—skills that are critical to the successful delivery of complex, large-scale developments. My dual perspective as both architect and owner\'s representative enables me to navigate project challenges with strategic insight and deliver outcomes that align with both design excellence and operational efficiency.Each project presents unique challenges and opportunities. In my role as Senior Project Architect, I collaborate closely with the Senior Project Manager, Senior Project Designer, and a multidisciplinary team to ensure that our work not only meets the strategic goals of the project and enhances the built environment, but also fulfills the specific needs and aspirations of our clients.
