Unforgettable spaces. Built to last.
Architecture should belong.
Based in Las Terrenas, Dominican Republic, Arkina is a boutique design-build studio founded in 2017 by architects Mónica Desangles and Joey Rapagliá. Together, we create custom residences and hospitality projects across the Dominican Republic.
Timelessness begins with place.
We believe the most meaningful architecture responds to its surroundings rather than imposing itself upon them. Every project begins by understanding its landscape, climate, and context, allowing each design to reflect both its place and the people who inhabit it.
Natural materials, restrained palettes, and thoughtful proportions create spaces that feel calm, enduring, and deeply connected to their environment.
One vision from concept to completion.
Great architecture is the result of thoughtful collaboration between design and construction. By integrating both disciplines from the beginning, we maintain continuity throughout the process, protect the integrity of every design decision, and deliver projects with greater clarity and precision.
This unified approach allows us to guide our clients through every stage of the journey, from the first conversation to the completed space.

Architecture is measured over time.
The true success of a project isn't defined on the day it's completed, but by how it continues to serve, inspire, and endure for years to come. That belief guides every decision we make, from the first sketch to the final detail.
