Manuel Ralda’s role as the lead carpenter at Winthorpe Design & Build is not just a job, but a true passion. For the past 15 years, Manuel has been the driving force behind the detailed craftsmanship that makes Winthorpe’s projects unique, wielding his tools with precision and care to bring designs to life.

Manuel’s journey at Winthorpe has been marked by countless projects, each one a testament to his skill, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to quality. He does not simply see wood and nails; he sees potential homes and spaces for memories, and he pours his heart into shaping them into reality.

When Manuel is not creating magic with his carpentry skills, he finds joy in spending time with his family. Their shared adventures and trips together are a source of inspiration and relaxation for him. They offer a chance to step away from his workbench and immerse himself in the company of his loved ones, a balance that fuels his creativity and zeal when he returns to work.

Manuel is also a voracious reader, often diving into the pages of a good book in his spare time. Just as he carefully carves out pieces of wood in his professional life, he carves out pieces of time for his love for reading. This hobby not only allows him to unwind but also opens his mind to new ideas and perspectives, indirectly enriching his craft.

In his career and personal life, Manuel embodies the idea of a well-rounded individual who balances his commitment to his work with his dedication to his family and his love for reading. At Winthorpe Design & Build, he isn’t just a carpenter; he’s a storyteller, a family man, and an avid reader, creating a harmony that resonates in every project he undertakes.
