Architectonica Procreate

Architectonica is a Design firm concerning itself with all aspects of Architecture ranging from Design, to Restoration, Landscape, Interior design, Painting, Furniture or any kind of accessory design and development related to a BUILDING. Vitruvius described Architecture as ‘Mother of all arts’ and it is with this view that Architectonica was established- to provide a multi-disciplinary arts platform encouraging a harmonious amalgamation.

The aim of “Architectonica” is to create for the future by keeping an eye over the past- to learn from it- using the present set of tools and technology.
