MAR CASTILLO
3D & GRAPHICS DIRECTOR
Mr. Castillo has been a crucial member of the RVL A+D design development team for over 16 years. Having worked for international firms in Asia, he has refined an exceptional talent in his ability to quickly visualize and develop the conceptual 3D volumetric massing of emerging projects. At RVL, we approach our projects as 3-dimensional sculptures rather than 2-dimensional paintings. Once the design team starts the sculpturing process of these masses, he brings them to life by carefully and sensitively, implementing the design features that have become the signature trademarks of our designs. His international background allows him to see architecture not only from the local perspective but rather from a global platform.
