Can you design just the interiors?
Yes. Architecture and interiors can be commissioned together or separately. Together, finishes, joinery and lighting are coordinated with the architecture from the very start.
How much does a project cost?
The fee depends on the area, the scope, the stages and the complexity, and is set out in the proposal after the first conversation. We explain how it is calculated in How much an architecture project costs (in Portuguese).
How long does it take?
As a guide, the design of a new house of around 500 m² takes about 110 working days; a renovation with As Built, close to 125. See it stage by stage in How long a project takes (in Portuguese).
Do you work outside São Paulo?
Yes. In the São Paulo countryside, in other Brazilian states and in Italy, where the studio has a base in Padua. We work in Portuguese, English or Italian.
Is site supervision mandatory?
No. It is optional and contracted separately. Technical site visits are part of the design service.
Who handles approval with the city and the gated community?
The permit drawings and the RRT are prepared by the studio. Filing, paperwork and fees are handled by a permit agent, hired at that stage, and the studio supports any corrections requested.
