Examining recent projects alongside older ones reveals the trajectory of a steadfast and distinct design approach. Founded by Guilherme Torres, the studio originated in Londrina in 2001 and has been based in São Paulo since 2010. A defining characteristic of their projects is a deliberate constraint—not in a limiting sense, but in an essential one. The limited palette of materials accentuates the lighting of spaces, establishing a connection with the occupants that evolves: day, season, and climate, according to Torres.
