GON STUDIO 

BIO

The studio is working in integrated Construction, Design, Architecture and Development Management. Early entrepreneur (2006) believing that development and design was more about understanding the building of a complex outcome rather than starting with an image (or idea). Instead, the image is the reward.

This is the approach Raquel Goncalo has historically brought in the form of services and professional collaborations to clients, people and businesses.

In her studio she offers services primarily to Business Owners.

Raquel Goncalo B Arch Sc.

Entrepreneural roots, while concurrently working as a Project Manager in the Architecture Engineering Construction industry. (10 years).

It may have started when she lived in an modern home designed by an women architect 30 years ago (which was then very rare in Toronto) and although leaving that house when she was only 10 she remembered anything that stained or cracked as much as the great details or moments the house layout facilitated.
