The Story Behind
RI-LY Architects & Associates
Our Journey
RI-LY Architects & Associates was founded by Jed Ayop, a Registered Professional Architect with a deep connection to the construction industry.
With roots that trace back to a family-owned construction business, Jed combines his hands-on experience with a passion for innovative architectural design.
Founder’s Story
Jed’s journey into architecture began with a deep admiration for his mother, a Civil Engineer who became his role model. Growing up in a family rooted in construction, he spent countless hours in hardware stores, learning the ins and outs of materials and customer service.
This hands-on experience laid the foundation for his passion for creating spaces that truly matter.
As a Registered Professional Architect and a graduate of BS Architecture, Jed sees architecture as a blend of art and purpose.
He’s committed to designs that are not just visually appealing, but also functional and honest, with a strong focus on sustainability.
His work is particularly attuned to the tropical climate, developing strategies to reduce heat and enhance natural airflow, ensuring comfort and efficiency.
Jed’s goal is simple:
To provide clients quality and affordable spaces they deserve.
With every project, he strives to create environments that improve lives and contribute to a more sustainable world.
