Founded in 1989 in San Francisco by award-winning architect Robert Y. Sauvageau, AIA, Studio RYS has built a legacy defined by integrity, quality, and service. Today, it turns the page to a fresh chapter – honouring its founding vision, “do great work and have fun while doing it,” and looking confidently toward the future.
“This new era represents both the culmination of 37 years of work and relationships, and the start of an exciting chapter,” said Sauvageau. “With Bhavini and Lisa – whom I have worked closely with over the years – joining me as Principals, the studio is energised with fresh perspective and expertise, enabling us to expand our services and continue creating built environments that uniquely tell our clients’ stories.”
Based in Chicago, Haude will also lead the firm’s new Midwest office. As Principal of Interior Design, she is a creative visionary known for guiding her teams with grace and crafting memorable spaces. With over 25 years of experience, Haude applies her deep passion for design to every facet of Studio RYS’s work. Widely recognised as an influential voice in the industry, she shares her expertise through her projects, media stories, speaking engagements, mentorship, and international accolades.
