Architecture Hunter

What Architecture Hunter does

Architecture Hunter is a digital content curation and discovery platform serving the global architecture and design community. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in São Paulo, Brazil, the company operates architecturehunter.com, a web-based platform that showcases curated architectural projects from practitioners worldwide. Its core technology is the "Hunting Tool," a multi-dimensional filtering system that allows users to search and discover projects across categories including typology, materials, colors, decor elements, environment, furniture, interior spaces, sustainability themes, and image type (photo, render, video). The archive spans residential, commercial, institutional, hospitality, cultural, and public-space projects sourced from established and emerging practices.

The product surface extends well beyond project discovery. The company operates the Architecture Hunter Awards (a paid-entry annual recognition program), a "Get Published" submission feature, a video library, webinars, city guides, the Hunter Intelligence Forum (a community discussion platform), a weekly newsletter, and an events directory. Its customer base comprises licensed architects, architecture firms, interior designers, and urban planners (primary segment), design enthusiasts and students (secondary), and product manufacturers and brands seeking visibility among specification-driven professionals. Distribution is entirely digital, centered on the website and a broad social media footprint across LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, Twitter/X, TikTok, and Spotify.

The business model is built around content submission and curation monetization: firms and architects submit projects for potential featured publication, and the awards program operates on paid entry fees with a 25% pre-registration discount mechanism. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, operates with approximately 18 employees, and is led by Founder & CEO Amanda Ferber alongside Partner & Operations Director Matheus Gait and Partner & Executive Producer Luiz Ferriani. Geographic reach is explicitly global, with featured projects originating from Brazil, the United States, Italy, Germany, India, China, Japan, Mexico, Portugal, Denmark, Switzerland, Australia, Argentina, Russia, and additional markets.

Direct peers

• Architizer: Architizer is a curated architecture platform featuring projects, firms, and products, with an annual A+ Awards program that mirrors Architecture Hunter's awards offering. It is a direct functional competitor for project discovery, firm visibility, and recognition revenue.
• Dezeen: Dezeen is one of the world's most influential architecture and design magazines, with a global editorial team, awards program (Dezeen Awards), and broad project coverage.

Broad incumbents

• Architectural Record: Architectural Record is a 130-year-old legacy architecture magazine published by BNP Media, with deep industry authority in the US market. It is a broader incumbent serving the same professional audience as Architecture Hunter but via a longer-form editorial format and print legacy, and does not specialize in niche digital curation.

Regional players

• Metalocus: Metalocus is a Spain-based architecture and design magazine covering global projects with strong editorial depth. It is comparable to Architecture Hunter's curated project coverage but primarily operates from a Spanish-language regional base rather than serving Brazil and Latin America specifically.

Emerging players

• Yatzer: Yatzer is a digital magazine covering architecture, design, and art with strong visual content from Greece, reaching a global design-savvy audience. It overlaps with Architecture Hunter's project feature/curation model on a smaller scale and serves similar design enthusiasts and professionals.
