RGR Interior Architecture is a full service, licensed interior design firm dedicated to the highest quality of custom interiors since 1993.
With offices in New York City and Miami, we offer a wide range of services from high end residential to commercial projects. The RGR team designs the interior space from concept to completion. This includes the selections of furnishings, decorative lighting, the coordination of fabrics and finishes, as well as custom millwork. Every aspect of the design process is handled in-house, from state-of-the-art lighting to communications, audio, video and surveillance. When stamped architectural plans are required, our set of plans are given to an architectural firm to create the required drawings. As part of our complete turn-key services, many of our projects include landscaping and exterior façade development.
To achieve a truly noteworthy and sophisticated environment, our range of talent can be seen in many different design styles ranging from traditional to contemporary. Over the past thirty plus years our team has handled numerous projects throughout the United States, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. Our dynamic team at RGR Interior Design translates its diverse experience and cutting-edge creativity to ensure a satisfied client at the end of your project.

Principals R. Christopher Raessler and Andres Guzman are committed to providing superior service for their clients and providing the highest quality creative interior environments for a diverse clientele.
R. Christopher Raessler, the firm’s principal designer, has been licensed by both the Florida and New York board of Architecture and Interior Design since 1997. He works with an international portfolio, serving clients from Hong Kong to the Caribbean, as well as projects throughout the United States, the Bahamas, Brazil, Portugal, France and Latin America.
In addition to receiving numerous design awards from the International Interior Design Association and the Design Center of the Americas, Christopher has been published both nationally and internationally and has worked for a number of celebrity clients. He has a keen eye for design along with an extensive knowledge of construction. Combining those qualities with his degree in Interior Design and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Finance, he has a well-rounded and solid background in all facets of the business. This broad scope has served him well in successfully building and running his design firms and the reason why most of RGR’s projects are from returning clients or client referrals.
Although much of what we see is a reinterpretation of something already invented, Raessler believes eclecticism is the key to creating interiors that are personal enough to look original. “I do not impose my style on my clients. I try to work with the client’s style and create a sense of continuity that will last and be timeless. I do not like interiors that are easily dated and believe you must be up front and honest with your clients to maintain a lasting relationship.” And his design philosophy is simple, yet hard for most to achieve.
While Christopher plans to continue doing residential and commercial interiors, he’d also like to expand into product design. “So many elements of our interiors are custom and creating a product line based on these designs feels like a natural progression. These designs would include lighting, textiles, artwork, furniture and accessories. I’ve also been working on 3 books over the past few years, which I hope to one day complete and have published”.
