“Today, clients and designers increasingly want the entire space to tell a single story,” he explains.
That philosophy extends beyond furnishings to cabinetry, doors, wall panels, architectural finishes, and custom installations. RGS Europe supports this process through Design Assist and Value Engineering services, collaborating with designers to resolve technical challenges, evaluate materials, and optimize budgets without compromising creative intent.
The company also emphasizes responsible manufacturing, including wood sourced from managed European forests, reforestation initiatives, and supplier certification requirements.
Its American ambitions encompass luxury residences, penthouses, boutique hotels, restaurants, commercial properties, and specialized projects, including yachts.
“We are particularly interested in projects where architects, designers, and clients have a clear vision and need a partner capable of turning that vision into reality,” Agardy says.
A Personal Perspective on Design
Beyond manufacturing and business strategy, Agardy’s appreciation for architecture is rooted in its ability to translate imagination into physical spaces.
“What first attracted me was the ability to take an idea and turn it into something real,” he reflects.
Travel throughout Europe and South America has influenced his appreciation for authentic materials, thoughtful proportions, and architecture that reflects local culture.
He favors timeless environments over passing trends, believing successful design should remain relevant long after fashions change.
For Agardy, Miami offers an equally compelling balance between professional opportunity and personal enjoyment. Its international character, evolving neighborhoods, restaurants, and waterfront lifestyle contribute to his appreciation of the city.
As RGS Europe establishes its American presence, that same balance between heritage and innovation will guide its next chapter, connecting generations of Spanish craftsmanship with the evolving ambitions of South Florida’s design community.
