Design and Real Estate Developer who founded Revolution Precrafted, Robbie Antonio
Robbie Antonio is a design and real estate developer and the founder of Revolution Precrafted which is a collection of limited edition, pre-crafted buildings, including homes and pavilions. Over 68 of the world’s most renowned architects, artists, and designers have collaborated on the initiative to create a unique series of prefabricated, habitable spaces.
Antonio comes from a family that has made a fortune in the real estate business. Early exposure aided in the formation of his work path. He’d always wanted to build a company with few assets that could grow to other areas without the normal financial and staffing issues. But, on the other hand, he was well-versed in the subject of real estate, and it was an industry in which he was enthusiastic. Antonio came up with the idea of manufacturing branded prefab structures while brainstorming new real estate possibilities.
Revolution Precrafted, which opened in December 2015, was born out of Antonio’s desire to combine his knowledge in the construction of elite structures with his passion for contemporary art. As a result, prefabricated properties such as modular homes, condominiums, pavilions, pop-up retail establishments, and fitness facilities are extremely adjustable. Revolution is democratising high design and architecture by introducing designed places in exclusive partnership with industry-leading creatives, using a network of cutting-edge technology and cost-effective production techniques.
Antonio is responsible for a number of unique fashion-branded real estate developments, including The Milano Residences in partnership with Versace, the world’s fastest-selling Versace Home interior-designed condominium project and the first in Southeast Asia, and collaboration with MISSONI HOME for the brand’s first residential development in the world.
He’s also worked with a number of notable architects, including Pritzker Prize winners Rem Koolhaas and I.M. Pei, as well as Daniel Libeskind, the master planner of New York’s Ground Zero site.
