This airport terminal and convention center project reimagines a local airstrip as a center of business and commerce. With features such as a butterfly roof with wide overhangs and full-height operable glass walls, the design creates an iconic communal space that connects interiors to the surrounding airfield.
The project transforms the airport into an anchor for a vibrant business center. With a simple yet expressive form, the building has a strong sense of place that turns a local airport into a central point of movement and activity.

This flagship groundbreaking, forward-thinking, and community-building project, a brainchild of RISE Architecture, creates a thoughtfully planned, self-sustaining community with convenient close access to communal infrastructure necessary for affordable living, supportive of an active, frum Hassidic lifestyle. The master plan creates a vibrant and self-sustaining neighborhood with all of the components necessary for community building.
The development provides ample, well-placed outdoor exercise and play areas; two large shuls with accommodations for multiple prayer services, helping to create the spaces that foster community connections. A large discreet multi-bor mikvah tahara, two large schools with catering facilities, a large grocery store, and two shopping centers provide everything a family needs within short walking distance. A large on-site medical facility, a community services and volunteer medical services garage, and multiple office buildings and small shop/warehouse areas provide the support and opportunities for business necessary to help the community thrive.
RISE is honored to have stood at the helm of this project from project inception through its current state—near occupancy.

The project redefines office design in Lakewood, creating a dynamic business environment that encourages collaboration while establishing a prominent presence at the gateway to the town.
The Hub consists of four interconnected six-story buildings with a central atrium and both indoor and outdoor common areas, designed to foster interaction and community within 450,000 ft² of office space.

Through strategic redesign and space maximization, we increased usable square footage while maintaining architectural variety and a strong sense of community throughout the development.
This 420-unit multifamily development combines townhouse and apartment typologies within 12-unit buildings, using interlocking layouts to optimize spatial efficiency and create a cohesive residential environment.

This multi-building yeshiva renovation and expansion project Planned Development accommodates the current and future growth needs of a rapidly growing yeshiva in Chicago. The current zoning applied only to the current building and limits expansion of the student body or use. The PD consolidates many lots in an industrial zone and is designed to allow for special zoning for a fully functional yeshiva, with standalone dormitory, dining, and gym buildings. Key to the project is the expansion of the current building to accommodate both mesivta and beis medrash programs in state-of-the-art facilities.
Through adaptive reuse and creative programming, a strategic vision for the yeshiva’s growth was developed that is both affordable and forward-looking. Utilizing existing structures as best suited allows for affordable development while meeting the growing needs and focusing construction dollars to where they have the most impact—aiding the students in their path of growth.
