Ramos Castellano Architects was founded in 2010, in São Vicente, Cape Verde. Castellano's artwork, as his architecture, is entirely focused on exploring potentialities of several materials, using mixed media to shape at the same time matters and landscapes. In his subjects he explores social changes with sharpness and Irony. Ramos' approach to architecture is direct, clear and simple. The shape of her buildings came from a clear and sensitive vision of the context, the material , the available technology in site.
"Here we have scarcity of material and we try to make it an opportunity to develop our creative side. Even [finding] a screw can be a problem. Here you have to be flexible, you have to improvise." – Eloisa Ramos
