Estudio Piloti

Estudio Piloti Arquitetura is a Brazilian design studio based in São Paulo, led by architects Vivian Hori Hawthorne and Luis Claudio Marques Dias. With over a decade of experience, the office develops projects across residential, commercial and public scales.
Their approach emphasizes the sensory dimension of architecture: light, air circulation, materials, smells, colors, and memories all contribute to the experience of space. Each project is grounded in the belief that architecture should welcome life — it should be poetic yet functional, expressive yet timeless.
Estudio Piloti seeks to amplify the identity of clients and sites, creating spaces with character, warmth, and meaning. Their work has achieved recognition including being a finalist in ArchDaily’s “Building of the Year” contest for the Casa Pátio Guapuruvu project.
