STUDIO
Martin Rickles Studio (MRS) is an interdisciplinary design studio located in Atlanta, GA. MRS practices architecture, landscape architecture, urban design,  interior design, and scholarship. MRS has experience working across a range of disciplines, scales, and project types including: residential, commercial, environmental planning, ecological design, civic, retail, hospitality, public art, and graphic design. MRS believes in the unique potential of each project to generate a solution that is meaningful and lasting (or perhaps arbitrary and fleeting). MRS uses a combination of informative and generative approaches including field research, precedent research, interviews, drawing, collage, model-making (digital and physical), discussion, debate, material studies, mock-ups and prototypes. These techniques are used in a focused and deliberate manner, and are determined based on the client and project needs. 
MRS was founded by Carley Rickles and Jennifer Martin in the spring of 2020. Despite their differing fields of study Rickles and Martin formed their partnership out of a shared love for land art, patterns, ceramics, landscapes, vistas, trees, chairs, windows, steps, slopes, leaves, draperies, grasses, rooms, paths, etc. Beyond their parallel interests, MRS finds common ground in a working process which is sensitive, rooted in science, inspired by theory, and responsive to the shifting needs of  a warming environment, clients, society, and self.  They believe no matter the scope of a design project, it should be well-considered through every lens of its  context (past, present, man-made, natural, cultural) and considered for its future impacts.
