The excellence of furniture and architecture in Monaco.
THE ARCHITECTURAL PRACTICE
From the Riviera to international projects, we transform your spaces into timeless works of art.
From the Riviera to international projects, we transform your spaces into timeless works of art.
Located in the heart of the Principality, at the Palais de la Scala, El Castillo de Mi Madre is much more than an interior design studio. It is a haven where contemporary design meets the mastery of great craftsmen. As specialists in bespoke furniture, we assist a discerning clientele in creating interiors of character, combining the nobility of materials with aesthetic refinement.
We draw our inspiration and meticulous craftsmanship from Spanish master craftsmen. Every piece — whether hammered wrought iron, glazed ceramics or carved woodwork — is the result of a centuries-old heritage adapted to modern luxury.

Our Process
A rigorous methodology.
A well-managed pace.
Seamless collaboration.
We coordinate every trade and oversee every strategic decision to ensure flawless execution, where adherence to your deadlines and budget is matched by excellence in every detail.
01Study & Immersion
Every exceptional project begins with a deep understanding of your needs. We analyse the architecture of your property, the light of the Riviera and your lifestyle. This phase of immersion enables us to define a unique artistic vision, perfectly aligned with your aspirations and the prestige of your property.
02Planning & Design
We organise the space to make the most of every area. At this stage, we finalise the technical layout and select the initial materials. We draw up a comprehensive plan that will serve as a detailed roadmap for the transformation of your interior, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
03Design & Creation
This is where the spirit of El Castillo del Madre truly comes to life. Working alongside the master craftsmen of Guadarte, we design your bespoke furniture and select the finishes: wrought iron, fine woods, ceramics and textiles. We create a cohesive visual world where every detail is a celebration of luxury craftsmanship.
04Project management
We oversee the implementation with the utmost attention to detail. From coordinating the various trades on site to the delivery and final installation of the furniture, we ensure that the finished result remains true to the original design. We deliver a “turnkey” property, ready to be lived in and admired.
