ROC2C

In 1999, in a landscape surrounded by raw material in the center of Portugal, Celso Gonçalves dared to think differently by innovating in the way he got technical knowledge about stone.

During years he continued to gather knowledge by extracting stone in almost one hundred quarries in its region, but later, in 2002 with the purchase of its own quarry, he could initiate what would later become Roc2c and his dream of valuing and dignifying Portuguese pavement, from extraction to execution.

Throughout decades he conducted historical research about Portuguese pavement and has been using it to validate Roc2c projects online, value his level of expertise and spread this Portuguese tradition.

Roc2c is set up on a high-quality standard thought for the global client, with high requirements. By using this model, Roc2c has worked with architects such as Álvaro Siza Vieira, David Chipperfield, Nuno Graça Moura, Souto Moura, Amanda Levete and Peter Marino in national and international projects.

These collaborations with important names in the architectural world lead to the execution of relevant projects like "#House #1.130", "The Lake Spa Resort", "Convento de Santa Maria de los Reyes", "Bom Sucesso Design Resort, Leisure & Golf", "Three on Abbott", among others.

Roc2c is proud of its vast portfolio of many international projects which include exports to Qatar, Canada, Australia, China, Brasil, more than 10 American cities and over 10 European countries.
