Initial Review
Service: Interior design and furniture sourcing for open-plan living space
Macarena helped me with an open space - dinner, saloon and kitchen all open - I wanted it more comfortable and a little more functional. We used our own furniture with some new pieces and the job they did was really good, and when I needed something or had a question, they were always there. I’m very happy with the result and it was really nice working with them, really good persons. Price felt good and they helped me find things that were not too expensive and in my budget, and I would do it again.

Service: Interior design and project management from concept to execution
In 2022/23 we hired RARDO Architects for the interior design of two apartments and a rooftop terrace in Barcelona. It was very structured and very well planned, with excellent communication from conception to execution, and the project was managed in a really professional way. Gerardo gave us different options, the timing was kept, we stayed within our budget, and the final design was to the highest aesthetic standard and matched my vision. Overall a really great experience and I would happily work with them again.

Initial Review
Service: Residential exhibition remodel and terrace enclosures; office design; plant layout
I inherited a collection of original Inca ceramics and he intervened my main room, threw away some walls and created an amazing glass exhibition so the pieces look like they are floating, with very specific lights that make the room very, very elegant. He also intervened our terraces with indirect lights, plants, warmers and these protectors you open and close so the wind stays out and the terrace becomes like a room, now we gained a lot of social space and everybody is complimenting us. Because of that, he designed our new offices to attract more youth and make people more relaxed and productive, and he really got the idea with the furniture, the layouts, the lighting and the floors, and people are very happy with the new space. For the industrial plant he worked with our engineers and specialists, understood all the processes, machinery and the logistics center, delivered on time with a very service oriented team, and the price felt very reasonable.
