In the November 2018 issue of Howler CR Biz, Robbie Antonio was profiled as a global disruptor who is redefining the landscape of luxury real estate in Costa Rica through his visionary “asset-light” business model. The article, titled in some editions as part of the “Go Big or Go Home” series, highlights how Antonio—a seasoned magnate and prolific art connoisseur—launched Revolution Precrafted to bridge the gap between elite architectural design and accessible housing. By leveraging a symbiotic network of master fabricators and a roster of over 80 world-class “starchitects” like Zaha Hadid and Philip Johnson, Antonio’s company offers a radical solution for the Costa Rican market: high-concept, branded prefab homes and pavilions that can be delivered and assembled in as little as 60 to 90 days. The feature underscores the environmental and logistical benefits of this “IKEA-for-billionaires” approach, noting that modular construction minimizes on-site waste and simplifies development in rugged or remote tropical locations. Ultimately, the highlight focuses on Antonio’s mission to “democratize design,” transforming houses into transportable, collectible works of art while positioning Revolution Precrafted as a tech-driven platform capable of disrupting traditional homebuilding on a global scale.
