About

Castle Architects LLC is a Hawaii architecture and interior design firm based on Maui, Hawaii. Founded by Hawaii Licensed Architect and REALTOR® Salesperson, Lesley Castle, our focus is on providing a personal experience for clients that holistically blends architecture and interior design.

Lesley brings 15+ years of professional experience in the field of architecture to her architecture / real estate studio. She earned the Master of Architecture degree at SCI-Arc and previously worked for world respected architecture firms in Los Angeles, such as Gensler and Soho House. Lesley was previously a Hawaii licensed Architect at de Reus Architects in their Maui office, working on luxury residential and hospitality projects. Prior to obtaining her licensure, she also freelanced with architects on residential and commercial projects in the US Virgin Islands, California and more.

Castle Architects is a full-service firm that provides all phases of design from concept design to construction administration, including construction documentation and permitting assistance. With an emphasis on hospitality, high-end residential and retail design, Castle Architects guides clients in the development and/or redevelopment of residential and commercial properties.

Our services include but are not limited to: concept design and development of raw land, renovation of existing buildings, residential new construction, construction documentation and permitting projects, interior design for both residential and commercial projects, site planning / massing studies, and specifying furniture, fixtures and equipment (FFE) for various project sizes.

Castle Architects takes a holistic approach to design. We do not separate architecture from interior design nor landscape design, rather they are fluid, interrelated concepts that together create one cohesive project.

Our team works closely with clients, crafting spaces that feel personal and reflective of those who will live or spend time there. We work on projects all over the world, with most properties in Maui, Hawaii, California and the US Virgin Islands.
