Astro Station is a studio based in Miami and Los Angeles — of architects, designers, engineers and builders working as one continuous practice. We design and deliver bespoke luxury homes — drawn, detailed, and built under one roof.
The StoryWe arrived in a WHITE city made of square geometries — as if it had been designed and drawn in Minecraft. A city of WHITE marble, glass railings, WHITE walls and WHITE lighting.
Its inhabitants referred to it as contemporary. We saw something else — a default, repeated to the point of disappearance. The square box. The white finish. The architecture that says nothing because it asked nothing.
Astro Station was founded on a simple act of refusal. We do not draw the same house twice. We do not specify the same finish twice. Every project is an answer to a different question, drawn for a different family, on a different lot — and the answer should look like the question.
We built a studio that holds every part of the residential journey under one roof — architecture, interior design, millwork, landscape, and construction — so the conversation between disciplines never ends in a handoff. The drawing and the built thing are the same gesture.
Three principals carry every Astro Station project, supported by an extended crew.
We use the word cosmonauts with intent. The work of building a home is a long mission — site survey to keys, sometimes thirty months in length, with a thousand small decisions made in flight. The cosmonaut metaphor reminds us how we operate: small senior crew, full command of the systems, accountable for every coordinate.
We hire infrequently and carefully. The studio is intentionally narrow so the work stays personal.

Leads interior architecture, FF&E and material specifications. Maria sets the studio's material register — the wood, stone, fabric, hardware and lighting palette that gives every Astro residence its tactile identity.
Carries the company's vision and strategic direction. Eu keeps the studio's standards, systems, and decision-making coherent — leadership, accountability, and the architecture of the studio itself sit on his desk.
From line to lived-in. Architecture, interiors, millwork, landscape, and construction — produced inside one studio so every line drawn is a line built.
For decades, residential work has been split across separate trades. The architect draws. The interior designer specifies. The contractor improvises. Detail is lost at every handoff.
We rebuild that pipeline as a single, vertically-integrated practice — one project manager, one set of standards, one finished home. Every project moves through the same crew from concept through commissioning. The architect who drew the house sits at the same table as the contractor who builds it. The interior designer who specified the millwork stands next to the shop lead who fabricates it.
The result: a house that reads as one idea, not a committee.
Four core business lines — Architecture, Interior Design, Millwork (Dragon Millwork) and Construction (Astro Cósmico) — plus three supporting services.
Most clients begin with one line and grow into the master agreement, which bundles all seven under a single contract, one project manager, and one transparent fee. A single decision opens the entire studio.
Three commitments we make on every project — no exceptions, no asterisks.
Every cost — architect, designer, sub-trade, allowance — visible to the client from day one. No hidden margins. No surprise change orders. The budget is built with the client in the room and updated weekly.
Daily site photos. Written weekly reports. Real-time access to a client portal where every drawing, decision, and change is logged. Clients are never asking what is happening — they are watching it happen.
Two-year structural warranty, an annual maintenance program, and lifetime referral support. Your house stays our project. The handover is the start of a relationship, not the end.
Every Astro Station engagement starts with a 30-minute conversation. No charge, no commitment.
