About
Architectural Tile & Stone is Austin’s premier source for boutique ceramic and natural stone tile distribution and high-end stone imports, fabrication, and installation.
When you choose Architectural Tile & Stone, you’re choosing a legacy of high-quality craftsmanship in the tile and stone industry.
Steve Rymer founded Architectural Tile & Stone in 1999, but his experience in the tile industry stretches decades earlier. When Steve was just 11 years old, he recalls packing Saltillo tile in a vacant lot to be shipped to Chicago. After attending UT, he joined the family business officially and worked in the Dallas Design District before moving to Austin, TX to launch his own tile and slab company, Architectural Tile & Stone.
Ryan Steele is the third generation in the tile industry and can remember grouting tile boards and filing samples as an after-school job at the company. After completing her degree in interior design and spending seven years with an internationally renowned design and architecture group in Houston, she joined the family business. Since she joined the team, longtime clients will notice an enhanced social media presence and an evolution in style toward distinctive design, but Ryan’s committed to continuing in her father’s brand of leadership and customer service.
The brand is built on one simple principle: Quality! For more than two decades, Architectural Tile & Stone has grown through word of mouth. Our work (and happy clients) speak for itself.
In 1999, we set out to do something that had never been done before. More than two decades later, we’re still blazing a trail in the Austin, TX tile and slab industry. Thousands of happy customers love our hands-on approach and commitment to the highest quality of products. We look forward to sharing the special brand of Architectural Tile & Stone customer care with you, too.

This is the stone fabricator that does all of the finest homes in Austin, for every top contractor. They can handle the most complex installations and their service, attention to detail, shop drawings and layout is all required for high-end work. Their showroom, warehouse and fabrication shop knows no equal in town. Their average length of employment is also well beyond any of their competition because they treat their employees well and they provide them with the most interesting work available in town. The’ve been a family owned and operated business for decades. Oh… and they source the world’s best material through longstanding relationships around the world. They might not always be the least expensive bid, but if you’d prefer to do the work once and have it be perfect, they’re a great option to consider. The photo I’ve included is from a job I did while working with Crowell Builders (who are also phenomenal). The complexity of this shower cannot be overstated and they nailed it.

I really can’t say enough incredible things about Architectural Tile & Stone. Their stone selection is simply UNTOUCHABLE – the best of the best! They are a family owned business and take immense pride in their products and source stones from all over the world. They also have the most beautiful tile and are very accommodating and helpful with the selection process. Furthermore, their customer service and installation team is top notch. They settle for nothing less than perfection and go above and beyond to satisfy their customers. I have now used them for two different homes and I HIGHLY recommend.

My design firm, Butter Lutz interiors, loves working with Ryan and the ATS team. They pay incredible attention to detail and assist in finding beautiful and unique products at various price points. I would say the biggest selling point for using ATS is their product knowledge, It is second to none!!! They are great to work with and we highly recommend them for your next project!
