About us

In the last seven years, I've designed residential, commercial, multi-family, retail, and townhouse projects, as well as space planning projects. This diverse experience has prepared me to tackle a wide range of projects successfully. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, and I've had the opportunity to study, work, and travel in South America, Southeast Asia, and Europe. This has given me a strong cultural and architectural background that informs my work. Additionally, I have extensive experience in construction.

I highly recommend this business. Casna Design has been amazing. Since day one, Mario has been very professional and responsive. When we first started looking for someone to assist us design our future home, we contacted many companies, and many of those companies never responded and if they responded their rates were astronomical. Mario responded to me within minutes not only with a text but a phone call. I was completely impressed with his professionalism and customer service. From the first call, I knew that Casna Design was the company for us. We are at the end of this project, and we feel honored to have worked with Mario. Efficiency and punctuality all hallmarks of his service. Thank you for being great.

We had the pleasure of meeting with Mario Castillo Navia for an initial consultation for our future house. His knowledge, professionalism, and invaluable guidance impressed us from the start. Being bilingual was a bonus, ensuring smooth communication. Mario listened attentively, and offered innovative ideas. Throughout the conversation, he provided clear explanations. We highly recommend his services.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mario Castillo-Navia of CASNA Design on the design for a residential renovation project. This is the first time I have worked with an architect, and it has been a very positive experience. From the very beginning, Mario impressed me with his professionalism, attention to detail, and creative vision. Throughout the project, Mario was available to answer questions and address any concerns that arose. His communication skills were excellent, and he always kept me informed of progress. He kept the project on track and within budget. What really stood out to me, however, was Mario's design expertise. He was able to take my ideas and turn them into something truly functional. His ability to balance aesthetic appeal with practicality was truly impressive, and once construction is complete the result will be a space that exceeds my expectations in every way. Overall, I would highly recommend Mario to anyone looking for a talented, creative, and professional architect. Thank you, Mario, for your excellent work!

If you are looking for talent coupled with honesty and integrity, this is the company for you. We had a design dilemma that could have been very costly. Casna Design was able to present timely options with cost savings in mind. Totally professional. Thank you for a job well done.

CASNA was recommended by my contractor and I could not be more grateful for the recommendation. The plans were developed exactly as I had envisioned, the pricing was very fair, and the process could not have been easier. I highly recommend CASNA- it has been thus far the best and easiest part of my home renovation.

Working with CASNA Design was the best of experiences. My husband and I had never worked with an architect before. Mario was patient, answered all of our questions, and was extremely knowledgeable. He kept our mind at ease throughout the entire process and had true excitement around making our project a success. We will definitely use CASNA Design services again!
