Designing what endures.
Rinato, meaning "reborn" in Italian, is at the heart of what we do. Architecture is the process of transformation—whether through new construction, renovation, remediation, or development. A site is reborn in the act of creating something new. A structure is renewed when restored or remediated.
Real estate development is the foundation of this rebirth, setting the stage for what’s to come. Architecture itself is the design and documentation of that transformation. Construction is the manifestation—the action of bringing the vision to life.
Ultimately, the result of thoughtful, diligent work at every phase is more than a building—it’s an ongoing experience of regeneration for the people who experience it.
Born from experience and renewal, Studio Rinato represents a built environment that is both structure and story. Every system, line, surface, and material choice reflects a journey—a connection between past, present, and future. We think with purpose, lead with precision, and design what endures.
As Principal of Studio Rinato, Brandon Hamilton brings over 25 years of expertise in real estate development, architecture, and construction.
His career began in the construction trades, where hands-on experience before, during, and after architecture school provided him with a solid foundation in the practical aspects of the building process. This early exposure equipped him with the technical skills and real-world knowledge necessary to transition seamlessly into architecture, allowing him to efficiently manage projects of all sizes and contribute to both creative and technical aspects across every phase.
Brandon’s later work in building forensics further deepened his understanding of building performance, due diligence requirements, and professional liability. This experience honed his ability to solve complex architectural challenges while mitigating risk, providing clients with strategic, short and long-term solutions.
Collaborating closely with real estate developers over the years has further refined his skills in managing projects from initial land acquisition through post-construction. This comprehensive background enables him to guide clients, building owners, homeowners associations (HOAs), property managers, and real estate developers through the entire project's lifecycle.
Studio Rinato's approach ensures that every project not only aligns with the project team’s vision but also creates lasting, intrinsic value for those who live, work, and engage with both the built and natural environment.
Architecture is an act of transformation—whether through new construction, renovation, remediation, or development—giving sites and structures a renewed purpose.
At Studio Rinato, we design and document this process of rebirth with intention and precision, creating built environments that honor the past, elevate the present, and endure into the future.
Building forensics involves investigating and diagnosing issues such as water intrusion, material degradation, and system failures to determine their underlying causes.
Studio Rinato provides clear recommendations and repair strategies that help owners resolve problems, prevent future damage, mitigate risk, and protect their investment.
Effect project management helps streamline any project by coordinating teams, clarifying scope, and identifying issues early, reducing delays and costly rework.
