The real problem
The problem isn't renovating. It's coordinating everything.

You don't need to manage a renovation. You need someone to manage it all for you. Transforming an apartment involves far more people and decisions than it seems, and the costliest mistake is leaving each one on their own.

The solution

One apartment.
One project. One point of contact.

From the first drawing to the handover of the keys.

Instead of hiring an architect, a cabinetmaker and suppliers separately and hoping it all fits together, you have a single management leading the process from start to finish.

How it works

What you gain at each stage

01

We understand how you want to live

A complete brief: your needs, routine and daily priorities.

02

We design your space

Layout, interiors, lighting, finishes and custom cabinetry, all integrated.

03

We bring the project to life

Suppliers, budget, timeline and on-site management of the works, by me.

04

You receive the apartment ready

No need to coordinate each professional on site. Ready to move in.

The difference in practice

What changes when everything is integrated

Fragmented

You coordinate everything

Architect → cabinetmaker → supplier → builder → building rules → problems

Mismatched decisions, the risk of incompatibilities and all the coordination left to you.

Single management

You have one point of contact

Design → cabinetry → suppliers → works → handover

Everything from the same solution, with one person taking care of the timeline, the budget and the result.

Portfolio

Real projects. Real results.

Behind every project

Felipe Jardim

Architect · CAU-RJ A241799-5 — responsible for the design, the management and the on-site execution.

My work brings together architecture, interiors, cabinetry and execution, so the result you receive is exactly the one that was designed, without you having to coordinate each professional on site.

Who it's for

Is this project for you?

It's for you if…

  • You've bought a new apartment and are about to start the renovation.
  • You're buying off-plan and want to prepare before the handover.
  • You've bought a resale apartment and want to renovate it completely.
  • You want a sophisticated project but don't want to manage suppliers.
  • You prefer having a single professional responsible for everything.

It might not be if…

  • You only want a simple floor plan, with no execution management.
  • You're after the lowest price, rather than complete management from design to delivery.
Investment

Every apartment calls for a different project

The investment depends on the area, the level of customization and the scope of the works. That's why, before talking numbers, we understand the property and what you want to achieve.

Frequently asked

Before you start

Do you work with English-speaking clients?

Yes. We regularly work with international clients and make sure communication is clear in English throughout the whole project, including arranging a translator for our meetings whenever it helps.

Do I need the design before starting the works?

Yes. The design is what ensures the works follow a plan: layout, installations, cabinetry and finishes defined before any wall goes up. That's precisely what avoids rework and extra cost along the way.

Do you only do the design, or also manage the works?

Both. The difference here is single management: I follow the execution from start to finish, coordinating suppliers, the timeline and the day-to-day decisions.

Do you do the custom cabinetry?

Yes. Custom cabinetry is part of the design from the start, integrated with the architecture, so that measurements, lighting, electrical, surfaces and finishes are all thought through together, and not rushed afterwards.

Do you handle the building documentation?

Yes. When applicable to the contracted service, I handle the technical responsibility (RRT) and the documentation required by the building management, within your condominium's rules.

Which areas of Rio do you serve?

Barra da Tijuca, Recreio and the South Zone, including Ipanema, Leblon, Copacabana, Botafogo, São Conrado and surroundings. For other areas of Rio, please ask about availability.
