Design
At Pontblanc, we believe in the power of a harmonious blend of aesthetics, functionality, and advanced wellness features to elevate everyday living.
A strategic and client-driven approach
Francisco serves as a trusted advisor for individuals who seek exceptional design but may not know where to begin, how to navigate the process, or have enough time to manage it themselves. More than just an architect or designer, he defines the project’s vision, assembles the ideal team when needed, and ensures that the entire journey—from concept to completion—is both excellence and enjoyable.
Design Advisory
A refined design experience
At Pontblanc, we believe that transforming visions into reality requires both creativity and feasibility. The history of architecture is not only shaped by the genius of Miguel Ángel, Palladio, Louis Kahn, Gaudí, Frank Lloyd Wright, or Mies van der Rohe but also by the visionary patrons who brought their works to life—Lorenzo de Medici, Eusebi Güell, Solomon Guggenheim, Edith Farnsworth, the Bank of England, and the Catholic Church.
Inspired by this legacy, Pontblanc embodies a collaborative spirit, shaping spaces that not only meet aspirations but create enduring legacies.

Pontblanc's DESIGN service transforms your vision into an extraordinary reality, blending expertise in design, strategy, and client advocacy to create spaces that reflect your aspirations and elevate your lifestyle.
Acting as your architect or trusted representative, Francisco ensures that your vision remains at the forefront throughout every phase of the process. He doesn’t just guide projects—he enriches the entire journey, shaping a legacy of profit, beauty, and enjoyment.
Through a refined three-stage approach, Francisco guarantees that every detail aligns with your dream.
-
We begin by crafting a design brief that captures your vision while aligning strategic goals and operational needs. This document distills critical insights about the site, technical parameters, and project aspirations. It establishes clear guidelines for budget alignment, planning and environmental standards, design priorities and aesthetic preferences.
By unifying these elements, we help you articulate your ideas and dreams in a way that can be transformed into architectural design.

Selecting the right design team is fundamental to achieving your goals. Pontblanc offers three tailored approaches to ensure the ideal match:
Designed by Francisco: Specializing in hospitality and residential projects, Francisco’s designs inspire well-being and sensuality, inviting people to rediscover the simple pleasure of living well. Rooted in The High Wellbeing Method, each project balances Senses, Health, and Aesthetics.
Curated Matchmaking by Pontblanc: We leverage our curated network of top international and local architects and designers to connect you with talent that aligns perfectly with your project’s essence and your personal vibe.
Private Architectural Competitions: Through exclusive invite-only competitions, we uncover the full potential of any given project by activating the creativity and talent of multiple architects and designers. This approach fosters natural synergy, enabling innovative ideas to emerge while ensuring compatibility with your vision.
-
The journey from design to construction and occupancy can span several years. Pontblanc remains a constant partner, offering guidance and adapting the brief as priorities evolve.
Many clients continue to rely on us as trusted advisors throughout the project, ensuring that the original objectives and vision remain front and center at every stage of delivery.
Pontblanc also offers other pre-project consulting services including proof-of-concept, feasibility and design briefing.
Sanctuaries for everyday life
“The true impact of a consciously designed property on our well-being is often overlooked. My design approach focuses on creating spaces that stimulate all the senses, promote health, and celebrate the beauty of life. Your home or vacation estate can become a sanctuary—an asset that enhances your life physically, spiritually, and sensually. I believe that being an architect is the ultimate act of optimism”
