Designs
Castellani designed a number of prominent buildings in Guyana, including Brickdam Cathedral; Castellani House, once the Guyana Prime Minister's residence; the Brickdam Police Station; and the New Amsterdam Public Hospital.
He made alterations and additions to the Church of the Sacred Heart on Main Street (1872-1882), which opened in 1861, for the colony's Madeiran labourers.
The design of the Victoria Law Courts, usually credited to Baron Siccama, has Castellani's signature style.
In 1875 he completed the installation of a sunken panelled ceiling of the Parliamentary chamber in the eastern wing of the Parliament Building.
Cesar Castellani died in Georgetown, Guyana on 2 August 1905.

Famous quotes containing the word designs:
“His designs were strictly honourable, as the phrase is; that is, to rob a lady of her fortune by way of marriage.”
—Henry Fielding (1707–1754)
“It is a mighty error to suppose that none but violent and strong passions, such as love and ambition, are able to vanquish the rest. Even idleness, as feeble and languishing as it is, sometimes reigns over them; it usurps the throne and sits paramount over all the designs and actions of our lives, and imperceptibly wastes and destroys all our passions and all our virtues.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“I have no designs on society, or nature, or God. I am simply what I am, or I begin to be that. I live in the present. I only remember the past, and anticipate the future. I love to live.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
