Design
“..from imagination to illustration to technical drawing..”-JR
“In design, imagination produces ideas that solve needs or problems in strikingly new and different ways. Illustrations explain these ideas and technical drawings transform them into reality.” - Jon Rizzo
Interiors
“..tactility of materials, color science, and three-dimensional aspects.”-ML
“I absorbed the interior design and architectural publications...in space planning, material distribution, technical product research, procurement of furnishings, and logistics.” - Monique Libby
Testimonials
The LR looks fantastic!!!! It feels much more "rich" and has so much more interest. I can't thank you enough. The two rooms are exactly what I wanted but wasn't able to even express. I really thank you for taking my verbal blabberings and making it work.
Ms. Libby provides wonderful services and has completely transformed my home and business into beautiful spaces to live and work.

Jon and his team always produce exciting and refreshing designs. He is a stickler for the details and is well-versed in structural as well as architectural detailing. His plans are clear and easy to understand. Plus, when we have technical questions, Jon is the first to jump in his car and meet us at the site.
The firm's breadth of architectural knowledge is exceptional. They have designed everything from a colonial farmhouse to extremely contemporary. The great thing is they get the architecture right no matter what period it is.
A great tool for us is Jon's ability as an artist. It is so helpful when, during design discussions, he sketches out our thoughts, saving us time going back and forth with design ideas.
Jon has a unique ability to listen, and I think that is why we have been so happy with every completed design. I have the deepest respect for everyone at JRML. They do not disappoint.
Respectfully yours,
— Richard E. Payne Jr. Principal
Mr. Rizzo and his staff produced designs and construction drawings (which were quickly approved by the City of Virginia Beach) in a timely manner and responded quickly to questions and suggestions made by the developer. Mr. Rizzo and the JRML staff did an outstanding job. I am very pleased with the product that he and his staff designed and highly recommend JRML.

In Progress
Update Coming Soon…
For background, Lake Phelps is home to Pettigrew State Park; a bird sanctuary as the park exists on 1,200 acres of land and 16,600 acres of water. Ducks, geese, and swans use Lake Phelps…
In progress is the significant update of a client’s childhood home. Judged by other firms as a tear-down, the client, detecting our empathy, commissioned us to restore the house to its original splendor.
We're often asked: What inspired your solution? We want to reply: a distorted reflection in a storefront window; how a skirt floated on the catwalk; or, the rhythmic pattern during a tenor sax solo. (Not that the preceding are irrelevant as each inspiration leads to an unconscious burst of creativity, but ultimately research, collaboration, and voluminous sketching refine the ideas.)
Sketchbook
Sketches promote the sharing of ideas at a pure, conceptual level without becoming mired in detail and specifics.
