About ARDesign
Design clarity, material honesty, and construction responsibility.
A design-driven architectural studio creating high-end residential, resort-style, and urban contemporary homes.
The studio
Visionary enough to be memorable. Disciplined enough to be built.
Founded and led by licensed architect Rome Guiruela, ARDesign works across the full lifecycle of a home—from concept development and structural strategy to construction management and on-site resolution.
The studio responds to site, climate, culture, and client lifestyle, blending contemporary construction with vernacular and natural influences. The aim is not novelty for its own sake, but spaces that feel grounded, refined, and purposeful.
