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 needed floor plan drawings in three days, and he worked on a Sunday to get the measurements for the house so he could have it for me in two days. He was professional and asked all the questions I would never have known to ask. A real pro!

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!

Mario was a true professional. He was prompt with our appointment, answered all of my questions, and provided a far quote to do the needed work. The result was an excellent set of plans stamped by a professional engineer that was suitable for getting needed permits and contractor quotes to do the work. I would definitely hire Mario again.

We had a lot of ideas and a lot of questions about the front porch we wanted. Marion listened to all of them, and then guided us away from the bad ideas and towards the good ones. We were comfortable with this because he demonstrated to us that we can trust his judgement. He provided the first 3D rendering, we requested some changes, he quickly responded. We are very pleased with his work.

Mario was very Professional and detailed in his work. He answered our questions quickly and was able to explain the construction process to us. He explained the pricing to us before we began and stuck to his word. He took the time to listen to what we wanted and made sure to incorporate that into his design. We are very pleased with the results. We had a great experience working with CASNA DESIGN. We had the best experience and we highly recommend him.
Mr. Castillo-Navia fulfilled all items in our wish list and designed a practical and beautiful home for our family! I hope this is our forever home but my wife and I would definitely look him up again if we need a different house when we eventually become empty nesters. He is professional and detail-oriented. CASNA Design even covered the structural engineering process. He answered immediately, is knowledgeable and passionate about his work, transparent in pricing, answered all of our questions and is very punctual. Mr. Castillo-Navia took the time to listen to what we wanted and made sure to incorporate that into our designs. We had the best experience. He was friendly, professional and we love the design he came up with. From the initial meeting to the final meeting everything went smoothly. He is very knowledgeable and a great listener. He also made himself available for follow-up questions from potential contractors and helped us compare bids. Working with CASNA Design was money well spent and we highly recommend him.
We bought this house knowing we would want a good amount of work to be done, and we were very happy with the work Casna did. We found it very helpful to have someone skilled in building design to guide us through the process before going to our contractor with the plans. We’ve worked solely through a contractor previously but I felt like we received much more professional, trustworthy guidance through Casna. He really understood the vision that we had and did an incredible job bringing that to life. There were a few aspects of what we wanted to do that we weren’t sure how to approach, and Casna was very helpful in providing several options which would align with what we were imagining while also pulling together each of the different spaces throughout our house. Communication, professional guidance, and price were all great - I would 100% recommend Casna to anyone looking for someone to help execute a vision for your home design.

The service Casna provides is outstanding!
Description of Work: New exterior front elevation, full kitchen remodel design, and new garage with lounge, bar and office
CASNA Design provided us the blueprint not just for our house but our home--and how we enjoy our lives in it. My husband and I were elated with the architectural design plan and are thrilled with the outcome! Mr. Castillo Navia listened to us and brought our vision to life, presenting us an interior design book to solidify our wishes, and inspiring us further with his own artistic ideas. He provided us fully-completed architectural and sealed structural engineering sets of drawings. One aspect meaningful to us was his focus on customer care, which afforded such a wonderful experience. He is a consummate professional: not only highly skilled and cutting-edge, but also passionate about his work and his field. He was responsive and punctual, with transparent and competitive pricing. From start to finish, he made the process as smooth as possible, including helping us question potential contractors and compare bids, and handling the complicated permitting process. We are so happy we used CASNA Design and highly recommend the firm!

The entire process was very smooth. The architect, Mario, was always responsive, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. His designs are beautiful but practical and we really felt like he listened to what we wanted. The price was very fair and we ended up paying exactly what was agreed to. We highly recommend Casna Design!
