Castro Design Studio

Castro Design Studio, LLC is a boutique residential design firm in Atlanta, Georgia. We create unique, custom designs for our clients. Each house, like every client, is one of a kind. There is no particular style that we follow, or try to impose on our clients. Each space we create reflects the dreams, desires and personalities of the people for which it is created.

Our drawings are crafted by hand. This process requires a great deal of attention to the design as a whole, and how all the pieces and details relate to the space and the people who will inhabit it. Each line has a meaning that is connected to the bigger picture, and each page is a singular creation. This reflects our intent to create unique spaces for unique people. We believe that a house is to be lived in and enjoyed, not simply admired. It is the people in the house that give it life.



Castro Design Studio, LLC was begun in 2006, by Rodolfo Castro. The firm focuses on the planning and design of custom, high-end residences and vacation homes. Our projects include new houses, additions, restorations and renovations. Our work draws inspiration from the traditional and classical architecture of the area as well as from the client’s own ideas, interpreted with a vision of the present to create work that is both timeless and modern while respecting the project’s site and context.

Our mission is to provide personalized attention to each client while designing a home that fits into each client’s desire and lifestyle.

    erolstad Thank you. I absolutely love all of your designs. I am going to redo my kitchen in white and add a very similar island. I am debating keeping my current cabinets and painting them but they are not flush mount and have dental molding. Do you think that would kill the design?

    Castro Design Studio It is hard to say without seeing the space, but a good coat of paint can do wonders to freshen up a space!

    Castro Design Studio The granite is honed for aesthetic purposes. It is still sealed like any regular granite, and it is still very resistant to staining. In this case the color is a little lighter than if it was polished, but the biggest "pro" is that it looks much more uniform and the natural specs in the granite are more discreet if the stone is honed.

    Granite Grannies Like Castro said, it's just aesthetic. It won't change the lightness or darkness, although some dark stones can have a bit more subdued color. I don't know if hiding the pattern is a "pro," but the leathered or honed granite will be softer and more varied to the touch than a standard polish.

    Castro Design Studio The lime wash would be used instead of regular paint. The "lime wash" is really just a lime based paint. You get the different looks by the way you apply the lime paint itself and how diluted the formula is when it is applied. I suggest you contact Roma in Atlanta. They carry some great lines of lime based paint and have all the techni al know how to best help you.

    Triangle Brick Company As a brick manufacturer, we love the look of natural brick and its durability. However, if you do decide to paint the brick, please be prepared for increased maintenance. According to The Brick Industry Association, “Most paint authorities agree that, once painted, exterior masonry will require repainting every three to five years.”
