"Marta and Raquel make me want to be permanently in construction works... I love working with them because they are extremely customer-oriented and don’t measure efforts to ensure that everything is according to what I need. They are extremely professional from wallpaper choosing to coordination and work supervision.”
"The birth of a first child is a magical moment and one just wants everything to be perfect. The baby's room is prepared with all the love and thought to detail to be functional and welcoming. I knew how I wanted my daughter’s room and Raquel and Marta interpreted perfectly my imaginary! Being a rather innovative model for a baby’s room, the suggestions and recommendations they gave me were crucial for the final result - a cozy and delicate room, which will adapt to the child's growth."
"A hard case that resulted in a completely renovated and pleasant house! I needed to completely refurbish a 2 floor apartment in order to prepare myself for a new phase in my life. I contacted Marta and Raquel Calleres after having seen an original work, with care and good space planning at a friend’s house. My project was a difficult case due to the house’s state, the construction characteristics, my very "peculiar" taste, the conditions submitted to them to deliver the works to a company of my acquaintance, as well as, to make use, as far as possible, of furniture and paintings/ decorative items, once we had a maximum budget. Everything went very well, thanks to their enormous availability, great creativity - both in terms of architecture and interior design. They had a unique ability to understand and consider what the client intended (likes or dislikes), proposing pleasant and innovative solutions. They also got along with the building contractor discussing the house’s conditions in order to find solutions that maintained the ideas of the initial project. To sum up, the two Calleres sisters were unsurpassed in dedication to the project and, together, ensured a good balance of creativity and good taste, along with rigorous enforcement and good sense of cost control. Perhaps the best testimony I can give is the one of my daughter (at the time 8 years old) who at first did not want to change the house where she was born, but in the end she also got involved in the discussions and today, after nearly five years, she still loves her 'new home'."
"When we moved house we also wanted to change furniture and decoration. We needed to feel the change. However, we had neither the time nor the experience to create what we desired. Marta and Raquel Calleres managed to understand what we wanted. They designed the new house with all the necessary details to meet our dream. They put in practice the idea in a short period of time, showing tremendous flexibility to adapt to the feedback we kept giving during the process. We were all very happy with the magnificent result. "
“To work with Raquel and Marta Calleres is to risk not wanting projects to end. Everything works out, everything exceeds expectations. They are already responsible for 3 projects of mine, where I have been very happy. Thank you, Raquel and Marta.”
“Working with Marta and Raquel Calleres was an exceptional experience. My requirements were taken into account when drawing up the design project and deadlines were met. The final result was above my expectations because of the set budget and creative solutions presented. Professionalism combining creativity, good taste and personal dedication of Marta and Raquel could only give a good result!”
"To talk of Marta and Raquel Calleres is to say Rest, Good Taste and Professionalism. In a word: Excellent - in two: Thank you so much."

NEW SERVICE: HOME COACHING
January 2016
On January 2016, CALLERES - Architecture & Interior Design studio expands its services and presents another way to help decorate: Home Coaching.
This service was thought to help people that are planning in getting married and want to organize their first home, as well as, for those who are moving house and have no ideas or time to achieve them.
Ideal for anyone who is looking for a quick, creative help, at controlled costs and accomplished by a professional.
The organization of a baby’s room, especially the first, is usually associated to the desire on planning everything to the smallest detail, trying to find comfort and functional solutions, which are initially very necessary. This project was no exception.
The main aim was to create a room that could follow the first years of the child's life, being an important requirement to include a wardrobe/ closet. Several layouts were presented for this compartment, introducing more furniture that would be required over time with the client’s daughter growth.
This space of 14 square meters, had a simple and regular configuration, but with a sloping roof and high ceiling. These factors came to help define the location where to build the open-closet, combining its present and future use.
It turned into a sober, warm and intimate room, guided by very clear shades - walls in light pink and white ceiling - with stronger notes in terms of textiles and chosen wallpaper, highlighting one of the adjacent walls to the open-closet.
