MIGUEL PINTO GUIMARÃES ARQUITETOS ASSOCIADOS

MPGAA was born from an architect's need to develop his own brand and repertoire. After fifteen years leading important studios, the young yet experienced professional Miguel Pinto Guimarães found the ideal moment in 2003, and together with Adriana Moura and Renata Duhá, set out in pursuit of an ideal. The search for the ideal home, for the essence of the Brazilian house. The quest to think the city well. MPGAA is the gathering of a talented and young team, refined with time and precision, prepared to serve exclusive clients. Dedicated to creating architecture that aims for the well-being of its users, both in the individual and collective spheres.
