01 / A connected approach
A better design process.
From one home to many.
Great residential design considers the whole picture: the site, the build, and the people who experience it.
We bring architectural design, interior design, BIM documentation, and visualization into one coordinated process. Clarity at every scale. A shared direction from the start.
Meet the studio02 / Who we work with
Different projects.
A shared standard.
01 / Residential developers
Design that thinks ahead.
Distinctive residential products, repeatable thinking, and coordinated documentation. A design partner who understands the development behind the homes.
02 / Home builders
Your design team.
Extended.
Design development, technical drawings, and visualization for your next home or a full pipeline of projects.
03 / Custom homeowners
A home with
purpose.
A personal, collaborative design process shaped around your site, your routines, your lifestyle, and what matters most to you.
03 / Clarity before complexity
Better questions.
Earlier decisions.
Residential projects have a lot of moving parts. We help bring the important decisions into focus while there is still room to make them well.
Can this design be built more simply?
We consider structural logic, roof forms, material transitions, and planning together, so the architectural idea can develop alongside a practical construction approach.
Are the drawings moving together?
Coordinated Revit models connect plans, elevations, sections, and schedules. Defined reviews help the team work from a shared set of information as the design develops.
How much variation does the project need?
We distinguish the elements worth repeating from the moments that give each home its identity. A model family can feel coherent without every elevation being the same.
Does everyone understand the decision?
Renderings and walkthroughs put spatial and material decisions in context. They give clients and project teams something concrete to discuss before changes reach the site.

04 / Builder-first design
The idea is only
the beginning.
Design quality and construction thinking belong in the same conversation.
We think through structure, materials, assembly, and coordination as the design develops. Our Revit workflow carries that thinking into clear drawing sets, supported by collaboration with engineers and locally licensed professionals where required.
Featured development
The Bluffs
at Hope Valley.
Eight attached residences. Four lots. A shared architectural language with room for individual character.
06 / Connected capabilities
One connected process.
Several ways to support it.
02
Construction documentation
Data-rich BIM models, construction drawings, and schedules that support coordination on the job site. We resolve design conflicts digitally to make revisions faster, documentation clearer, and delivery schedules more predictable.
03
Interior design
Millwork design, finish materials, fixture selections, and spatial decisions that carry the architectural idea inside.
04
Visualization
Exterior and interior architectural renders, including still imagery, animations, and interactive 3D walkthroughs for design conversations and presentations.
05
Marketing support
Architectural imagery and presentation material to help builders and developers communicate future homes.
06
Repeatable home design
Model development, considered variations, and design libraries for recurring residential work.

The founders.
Founded by Rodrigo Molina and Mark Rapsing, MURO brings complementary strengths in residential design, building technology, and thoughtful presentation.
We share a belief: Great home design shouldn’t be complicated. Function doesn’t mean sacrificing form—the elegance is in the execution.
