Our Team
Ricardo Peralta
Lead Architect
Our master architect, Ricardo uses design as a means of human transformation, consciousness ascension and sacred coherence. Trained in urban design in TU Darmstadt Germany, Ricardo, a Mexican native, he honed his architectural skills in his home country mastering the design methods used by ancient cultures to harness the energetics of the land and elements. This study took him to over thirty countries around the world. He is driven by the conviction that life-affirming spaces are fundamental to co-creating heaven on Earth.
He works with governments, individuals and organizations in projects that aim to influence cultural perspectives and reimagine collective change.
His work integrates Biophilic Design, integrative health and Feng Shui. It spans from the most technologically advanced, creative districts in Asia, to entire cities designed in accordance with the energetics of the land in Mexico ( two of them in development and expected to house 40,000 families) to whole-system multigenerational communities in the USA, designed for residents to recharge their spirit and for life to flourish.
