Ide Arquitetura
IDE Studio Arquitetura is a São Paulo firm dedicated to buildings — residential and mixed-use — that designs projects for developers in the capital, under the motto "For living cities".
Who it is
Founded in 2014, headquartered on Avenida Ibirapuera, in São Paulo, IDE Studio Arquitetura has Henrique Mélega as partner-architect and concentrates its work on building projects in the city. The firm is recognised on ArchDaily as building-focused and has had work published in Revista PROJETO.
Language and signature
The repertoire combines contemporary design with rationalised construction methods. In the Edifício Urbic Vila Mariana, for example, IDE Studio adopted industrialised construction — exposed bolted steel structure, precast concrete panels and glass façades —, prioritising speed and precision on site.
