Spaces as unique and inventive as you.

At ARIO Studio, we believe homes should be as unique and inventive as the people who inhabit them. 

Our designs are driven by your lifestyle and context, and are infused with a spirit of playfulness and inventiveness through the mindful use of space, light, and material.

How do we do this? We ask good questions and listen intently. We seamlessly integrate architecture and interior design. We use a rich, layered palette of light, color, and texture.

ARIO Studio is located in downtown Travelers Rest, SC and is owned by Brittany Arnold. After obtaining her undergraduate degree in interior design, she realized the she could better serve clients through the seamless integration of architecture and interior design. She graduated from Clemson University with her Masters degree in Architecture and then went through the long process of becoming a licensed architect. After gaining experience designing and managing both large and small projects at commercial and residential firms, Brittany launched ARIO Studio with the goal of providing clients throughout the southeast with modern, contemporary design. 

ARIO Studio has rapidly grown to become one of the leading modern architecture and interior design firms in the southeast. Our team of four is friendly, approachable, and passionate about designing homes that perfectly fit the lifestyles of our clients. 

One of the most rewarding parts of our work is the relationships we develop with our clients. Projects often last over a year (including the design and construction process) and we get to know our clients quite well. It's deeply fulfilling to see their dream home come to life throughout our design process and then become a reality during the construction process.

**★★★★★ — lensic, March 2025**

> Brittany did a beautiful job on our plans. We purchased a house that needed a complete rehab.  We are almost done and ready to move in and the details she added make it beautiful and unique. Highly recommend.

**Comment from Ario Studio:**

> Thank you so much, Lensi! We loved working with you and your husband on your home. We're so happy it's almost done and ready for your family to enjoy!

Whether you have a crystal-clear vision or just a Pinterest board full of ideas, they guide you through the process with patience, expertise, and an uncanny ability to bring dreams to life.

**★★★★★ — Melissa Giglio, Feb. 2025**

> Brittany and her team are fabulous. They are wonderful people to work with and help you bring your vision to life. Ario Studio designed a sunroom and outdoor space for us and we could not be happier!

**Comment from Ario Studio:**

**Comment from Ario Studio:**

> We really enjoyed working with you too, Marc! Thank you so much for the kind words!

**★★★★★ — Amy, Dec. 2024**

> Brittany and her team at Ario Studio helped us take a dilapidated midcentury house with great bones and turn it into a dream home.  The house had many challenges, and Brittany and her team developed creative solutions to produce a highly functional and aesthetically beautiful outcome.  Ario has strong connections in the community and helped connect us with local craftsmen and suppliers.  Supporting local businesses was important to us and Ario helped us find the right people and resources for the job.
>
> Brittany has a strong sense of style and deep understanding of the midcentury aesthetic.  While almost everything in the house is new, she preserved the architectural and design integrity in keeping with the vintage nature of the house.  She created a cohesive design both inside and out.  She worked with us to make sure our vision, goals and budget were achieved.  Brittany is organized, prompt and well respected in the community.  Working with Brittany and her team was a wonderful experience – we highly recommend them!

**Comment from Ario Studio:**

> Thank you so much, Amy! This was a truly special project, and we absolutely loved working with you!

**★★★★★ — Lisa Cox, Nov. 2024**

> Working with Brittany Arnold & her team at Ario Studio has been an absolute blast! She’s like a dream come true, taking our wildest ideas and turning them into reality. We’ve used her for everything from architectural design to interior design and project management, and she’s made it all happen. She’s got an incredible eye for detail and a wealth of knowledge about building. We couldn’t have pulled together our dream home without her vision and expertise. She’s truly the best! I can’t wait to collaborate with her on our next projects.

**Comment from Ario Studio:**

> Thank you, Lisa! We love working with you and look forward to collaborating on more projects!

- [Sauna House + Pool House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sauna-house-pool-house-pj-vj~6983981)
  - Location: Travelers Rest, SC
  - Photos: 15
  - Description: The client requested a modern, contemporary style sauna and pool house that works within the existing context of the more traditional style home. To accomplish this, the modern form is being wrapped in the same exterior material as is used on the house – tying them both together but allowing a new interpretation of the style of the structure. The flat roof keeps the views from the house to the mountains from being blocked by this new structure. The addition of a secondary covered outdoor living…

  - Location: Taylors, SC
  - Photos: 3
  - Description: The client for this project had some very specific requests to meet their lifestyle. The project is designed such that they have a an extra tall garage space, but the way the house is terraced into the site disguises the overall scale of the large garage. The house also works with the site to create a division between living and private bedroom space. By terracing the interior, a few steps up to the bedroom wing makes a nice division between the public and private part of the home. In addition,…

This property is a 0.32 acre lot in an existing suburban neighborhood. The neighborhood is primarily comprised of 1,000-2,000 SF and 1-1.5 story ranch style homes.
