HAMIDE RIHTIM, AIA

Hamide Rihtim is an architect, designer, and founder of Rihtim Office of Architecture (ROA), an independent New York–based practice focused on architecture and interiors. With over a decade of experience across hospitality, workplace, retail, and residential sectors, her work balances technical rigor, spatial clarity, and a deeply human approach to design.

Rihtim’s career spans internationally recognized architecture and design practices including A+I (Architecture Plus Information) and Perkins&Will, with work recognized by Architizer, NYCxDESIGN, Fast Company, The Architect’s Newspaper, Interior Design, among others.

Her approach is rooted in the belief that architecture should feel intuitive, layered, and deeply connected to how people move through space. At ROA, architecture and interiors are approached as an integrated experience shaped through material, atmosphere, and spatial sequence.
