Ralph de Rechniewski is a dynamic professional with a diverse background in interior design, engineering, and real estate development. Born in the picturesque South of France to an Interior Designer mother and an engineer father, Ralph’s upbringing was a blend of creativity and technical expertise. He spent his formative years between the glamorous locales of Monaco and the bustling city of Paris.
Ralph’s educational journey took him on an international adventure. After completing his high school diploma in Florida, he embarked on a journey to Asia, where he honed his skills in interior and graphic design. His dedication and passion for design were evident in his outstanding academic performance.
Seeking to further enrich his knowledge and skills, Ralph moved to British Columbia (BC), Canada. While pursuing a bachelor’s degree, he didn’t just limit himself to the classroom; he actively immersed himself in the construction and interior design industry. Ralph worked with various interior design shops and a flooring company, gaining hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the industry.
Ralph’s fascination with construction and design was ingrained in him from a young age. He frequently assisted his mother in renovation projects, learning the intricacies of every step of the process. At the tender age of 18, he completed his first apartment flip with his mother’s guidance, a testament to his determination and skills. By the age of 24, he had already successfully flipped multiple properties.
His father’s background in mechanical engineering also influenced Ralph’s interests. He spent countless hours in the garage, tinkering with electronics, disassembling and fixing engines, and refurbishing vehicles from scooters to cars. This hands-on experience broadened his skill set and provided him with a unique perspective on design and construction.
Currently residing in the picturesque town of West Kelowna, Ralph made a pivotal decision in 2021 to establish his own business, Mon-Arch Renovation and Design. His goal is to bring the same level of excellence he was raised with in Monaco to the Okanagan area. Ralph’s core values, a combination of creativity, technical prowess, and a deep appreciation for craftsmanship, are the driving force behind his business. With a commitment to quality and innovation, Ralph de Rechniewski is poised to elevate the world of renovation and design in the Okanagan region.
