FANTASTIC approach

We are specialist in public space.

Since 2008, FANTÁSTICA has specialized in revitalizing underutilized spaces across the globe from Guatemala City to our home in Brooklyn. We believe placemaking design should revolve around the unique character of an area, its surroundings, and the people who frequent it. It is not a one size fits all method, but rather a ground up process that incorporates the voices of local stakeholders to ensure an authentic, resonant end result
