Whether it is the landscape and nature surrounding a plot of land or the desires and needs of his clients, for São Paulo architect Gui Mattos, the development of an architectural project is always a process of dialogue and exchange, built together with a series of other elements. After graduating in 1986 from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism of Santos (FAU Santos), he has led his architecture firm since 1987, which today has more than 40 employees.
Gui Mattos began his professional journey in Ubatuba, on the north coast of São Paulo, specializing in residential projects. He always sought to respect the environment and its characteristics, trying to intervene as little as possible in the land and existing vegetation, so that the architecture presents itself without major interference and becomes part of a larger composition. In an interview, the architect also said that he has always been concerned with understanding his projects' materials and construction processes, participating in construction sites, and discussing with the team about the adopted solutions.
