RTN was founded by Javier Rivarola, Gustavo Trosman, and Ricardo Norton in the City of Buenos Aires in 2003. Since then, we have specialized in designing, developing, and managing proprietary work projects for business and individual clients, and government agencies. In addition to our proprietary projects, RTN specializes in the development of services for third parties both domestically and internationally.
RTN’s edge is its commitment to deliver quality projects with the highest standards of design, technology, and innovation adapted to each necessity, and applied to projects of diverse scales such as office buildings, private homes, retail spaces, parks, ports, and urban projects among others. We are at the vanguard in the use of software for architecture such as Revit, Rhinoceros and Grasshopper.
We participate actively in competitions, and have become the only Argentine architect studio to win an international competition by designing and building a public work in the United States: between 2004 and 2014, we developed Beale Street Landing, a riverside park with walking paths, tourist port, and picnic areas located on the banks of the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee.
In 2007 we won our second international competition for designing and constructing La Campa de los Ingleses, the second largest park in Bilbao, Spain. It joins the Guggenheim Museum with other key buildings in that city designed by some of the most renown architects of the world such as Álvaro Siza, Santiago Calatrava, Rafael Moneo, Ricardo Legorreta, and Robert Stern. In this way, we contributed to the completion of the masterplan envisioned by César Pelli for this new central area of the city.
The final touch to our international projection has been the 70 plus buildings we have developed working with Aufgang Architects during the last 16 years, providing our knowledge of design, executive documentation, and current regulations.
At a national level, we have been commissioned with a wide spectrum of projects from private homes, apartment and office buildings, commercial architecture, and equipping all the way to Masterplans.
Regarding the last point, we have worked for the Government of the City of Buenos Aires projecting the Masterplan for Distrito Joven (Youth Park), which would become the basis for a future law; and another for the National Environment Ministry for a Masterplan of 10,000 hectares in the basin of the Riachuelo river (in collaboration with the German studio Sauerbruch - Hutton).
In 2017 we began our relation with Wework, an international enterprise dedicated to the provision of flexible shared workspaces. We thereafter became the architecture studio representing Wework for its subsidiaries in Argentina and Chile, developing projects under BIM platforms.
