Retirio - Architecture & Interior Template Kit

Retirio is a high-end Elementor Template Kit designed for architecture firms, interior design studios, and construction agencies. It is praised for its clean, minimal aesthetic that emphasizes high-quality imagery and structured architectural layouts.

A key advantage of Retirio is that it is built specifically for the Free version of Elementor, meaning you don't need a Pro subscription to get the full design working.

1. Key Features

Minimalist Aesthetic: Uses a sophisticated "no-color" (black and white) palette that makes your project photos pop.

17+ Templates: Includes specialized pages for every part of a design business:

3 Homepage Variations: Different layouts for Architects vs. Interior Designers.

Portfolio Styles: Multiple grid and masonry layouts for project showcases.

Single Project Details: Large-scale image sections and clean text for "The Concept."

Inner Pages: About Us, Team, Services, FAQ, and Blog.

Fully Responsive: Optimized for tablets and mobile devices to ensure a "retina-ready" look.

2. Required Plugins (All Free)

Before importing the kit, you will need to install these free plugins from the WordPress repository:

Elementor: The core page builder.
