Architecture practice created in April 2009, by Marcio N Coelho Jr e Silvio Sguizzardi, fellow students graduated in 2000 at Mackenzie University, in the School of Architecture and Urbanism, São Paulo.

Working together for more than 10 years, we participated in the conception of Atelier Cabu in 1998, starting our first professional practice. In the following year we represented Mackenzie University at the International Student’s Competition for the IV International Biennial of Architecture in São Paulo with the awarded design for the Sé Square, the city's historical center.

Shortly after graduation, we became partners of Nave Arquitetos Associados, developing awarded projects, taking part in national and international exhibitions and being published in specialized media both in Brazil and abroad, with whom we've created the ZOOblog!

After several experiences and other activities, as academic research and teaching, we decided to work together again, following our common aspirations and values. A new practice is established, based on the acquired repertoire and in the search for objective and efficient solutions, as well as facing new challenges.

Working with Design, Architecture and Urbanism, we look for opportunities to establish partnerships and exchanges in our projects to enrich the creative process and the investigations on human interface with the natural and the built environment. This is achieved through dialogues, propositions and experiments with forms, techniques and materials, lighting and well-being, with functionalism and art as basic elements for creation in the different scales, from the simplest day-by-day object to the most complex continuous construction of the urban space.
