RSM Design partnered with the University of Hawai’i at Mānoa to create a visual narrative that honors Hawaiian culture while looking to the future and building a housing complex for the student community. RISE is a new student housing facility for 374 residents, designed to foster creativity, collaboration, and entrepreneurship. Inspired by the Mauka to Makai journey, RSM Design developed a custom pattern story and graphics. The historic Atherton House is now surrounded by two modern towers, forming a shared space where students live, connect, and innovate.
