STUNNING DESIGN

PERFECT QUALITY AND PRESICION

Since 2008, we have been responsible for executing large-scale commercial, corporate, and residential projects. Ricardo De Castro’s team has established itself as a prominent force, thanks to its wealth of experience and unwavering commitment to quality. We have successfully undertaken diverse projects in various countries and contexts, including restaurants, offices, houses, apartments, hotels, and shopping malls.

At Ricardo De Castro we operate in two capacities: as an investor-developer and as an owner’s representative on behalf of our clients. As an investor-developer, Ricardo De Castro identifies and acquires land for development, overseeing the design and construction of residential and commercial projects. The company has a proven track record of success in developing and delivering high-quality projects.

In addition, Ricardo De Castro also serves as an owner’s representative for clients who wish to develop their own luxury residential or commercial projects. The company provides comprehensive services, including land acquisition, design, and construction. Ricardo De Castro is highly known as a trusted partner for both investors and developers. The company’s unwavering commitment to quality, design, and execution has resulted in an impressive portfolio of award-winning luxury residential projects.

Ricardo De Castro is a renowned designer who received his Architecture Bachelor degree at the University of Catalonia in Barcelona, Spain. He further honed his skills by completing a Master’s in Interior Design at the Scuola Politécnica Di Design in Milan, Italy, followed by a Master’s in Industrial Design at the same institution, that awarded him an internship to work as an Arquitect and Interior Designer under the guidance of the renowned architect Piero Lissoni.
