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. ### Services Provided - Architectural Design - Home Remodeling - Architectural Drawings - House Plans - Home Additions - Home Extensions - Kitchen Design - Sustainable Design - Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) - Space Planning - Guesthouse Design & Construction - Universal Design - Multigenerational Homes - Pool House Design & Construction - Home Restoration - Historic Building Conservation - Mudroom Design - Laundry Room Design - Custom Home ### Areas Served - Atlanta - Buckhead Atlanta - Sandy Springs - Roswell - Alpharetta - Marietta - Smyrna - Brookhaven - Dunwoody - Peachtree Corners - North Atlanta - East Point - Tucker - Chamblee - Decatur - Candler-McAfee - North Druid Hills - Norcross - North Decatur - Belvedere Park - Clarkston - Vinings - Doraville - Scottdale - Panthersville - Fair Oaks - Druid Hills - Gresham Park - Avondale Estates - Berkeley Lake - Buckhead - Alabama - Chastain Park - Clarkdale - Costa Rica - Florida - Georgia - Lindridge-Martin Manor - North Carolina - Piedmont Heights - Pine Hills - South Carolina - Tennessee - Underwood Hills ## Business Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Business Name | Castro Design Studio | | Address | Atlanta, Georgia 30305, United States | | Phone | (404) 514-7247 | | Website | http://www.castrodesign.com | | Followers on Houzz | 1665 | **Social profiles:** - LinkedIn — http://www.linkedin.com/in/castrodesign/ ## Contact - **Houzz profile:** [Castro Design Studio](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/architects-and-building-designers/castro-design-studio-pfvwus-pf~1761704331) - **Website:** http://www.castrodesign.com - **Phone:** (404) 514-7247 ## Credentials **Certifications & Awards** - 2014 Top 15 under 40, Atlanta Homes and Lifestyles Magazine2015 Houzz Award Winner - **Best of Houzz:** 12 awards (2012–2023), for Design, Service. ## Reviews **Overall rating: 5.0 out of 5 — 7 reviews** ### All 7 reviews **★★★★★ — Joel Kelly Design, Jan. 2016** > Rodolfo is a talented, extremely conscientious and enjoyable architect to work with. I would highly recommend him. We have been fortunate to work with many excellent architects and interior designers. What sets Rodolfo apart is that he makes the business of design a fun endeavor. This is someone who you want to have a drink with after everything is said and done...not one you want to throw a drink on during the process. **★★★★★ — BLU Interiors: Chelsea Dunbar, Aug. 2014** > Rodolfo is an amazing architect and wonderful to work with. I have been fortunate to work with him on 2 beautiful Atlanta homes and he is very involved in the process from start to finish. He is able to work seamlessly with other professionals and offers a significant amount of knowledge and input on both the interior and exterior of a home. He is a rare find and I would absolutely work with him again and again. I always recommend him to clients seeking help from an architect. **★★★★★ — Bellwether Landscape Architects, May 2014** > Rodolfo is a fantastic architect, period. We have been fortunate to work with Castro Design Studio on several wonderful new home projects. Rodolfo has a straight forward, easy going approach, and a natural ability to turn difficult tasks into unique design opportunities. Relaxed, thoughtful, and genuine; Rodolfo's personality shines through his work, and always stands out. We, at Bellwether, relish all opportunities to work alongside Rodolfo + Castro Design Studio. **★★★★★ — cjmccaffrey, Jan. 2014** > We have been so thankful to work with Roldofo on our renovation project. He brought many innovative ideas to the table that we would never have thought of. We are looking forward to starting this project and see his plans come to life! > Carmen and Bryan > Atlanta, GA **Comment from Castro Design Studio:** > Thank you so much Carmen and Bryan for allowing me the privilege of working with you and for these incredibly kind words! **★★★★★ — The Belding Group, Inc, Sept. 2013** > I have worked with Rodolfo Castro on several sucessful projects over the last 6 years. He is the consummate professional. Every collaboration has been a wonderful working experiance. His attention to detail is amazing. Rodolfo is an amazing talent with a humble and gracious personality. Looking forward to years of working with him and his firm. **★★★★★ — j witzel interior design, Feb. 2013** > As an interior designer, I have loved collaborating with Rodolfo Castro. I admired many of the homes Rodolfo designed in the Atlanta area and it did not take long for me to realize this was a very talented individual. His attention to detail and eye for quality is indicative of the high end level of work he has been exposed to throughout his career. The clients are always pleased with his level professionalism and commitment to the project. I would work with him again and again. **★★★★★ — reinvintagedesign, June 2012** > Rodolfo Castro, of Casto Design Studio, is an amazing architect who I highly and very regularly recommend to others. By far the best part of our build was selecting Rodolfo of Castro Design Studio as our architect. We absolutely hope to use him again on future projects. Rodolfo worked for the first half of his career under one of Atlanta's most prestigious architectural firms. Rodolfo now brings the same high quality work, customer service, easy working relationship and incredible artistic talent via his boutique design studio. To say he works exceptionally well with clients and other professionals is an understatement. Rodolfo's expertise far exceeds architecture alone as he is extremely talented, knowledgeable and involved in all aspects of the building and design process. His hand sketched plans and elevations are so beautiful they deserve to be framed. His drawings are so remarkable, in fact, that City of Atlanta inspectors commented that they rarely see hand drawn renderings any more. Rodolfo listened to what we wanted and further perfected our vision. He helped us achieve lovely design finishes and architectural elements unique to our home and the topography of our lot. We wanted a new home that did not feel new and we wanted to maximize our square footage to avoid wasted space. Rodolfo was so successful in executing our vision that most visitors to our home assume we remodeled an older house. Rodolfo understood that we did in fact have a budget and offered suggestions and tricks on ways to get the look we wanted without blowing the budget. If you are building or remodeling in the Altanta area, interview Rodolfo! He will likely become your friend and is sure to be the best part of your build as well. > > Sincerely, > Juliane Walker and William McCaleb > Buckhead homeowners ## Selected projects - [Rock](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rock-pj-vj~1946388) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 1 - Description: New House - [Club](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/club-pj-vj~1117063) - Location: Brookhaven, GA - Photos: 12 - Description: New House - [Brookhaven](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/brookhaven-pj-vj~14525) - Location: Brookhaven, GA - Photos: 16 - Description: New House - [Redding](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/redding-pj-vj~74404) - Location: Brookhaven, GA - Photos: 39 - Description: New House - [Woodrow](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/woodrow-pj-vj~5840492) - Location: Brookhaven, GA - Photos: 18 - [Mason](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mason-pj-vj~725219) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 23 - Description: Extensive renovation and addition - [Modern Show House](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/modern-show-house-pj-vj~5853985) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 20 - Description: Atlanta Magazine's Modern Style Show House 2019 - [Atlanta Estate Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/atlanta-estate-home-pj-vj~5610311) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 12 - Description: 2018 Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Kitchen of the Year 2017 ASID Gold Award - Kitchen 2017 Subzero Wolf KDC Worldwide Finalist 2019 Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Bath of the Year 2019 ASID Gold Award - Bath - [Custom Atlanta Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-atlanta-home-pj-vj~2617214) - Location: Atlanta, GA - Photos: 84 - Description: Custom Atlanta Home by Longo Custom Builders.
