What C+A Arquitetura para Saúde does

C+A Arquitetura para Saúde is a São Paulo-based, founder-owned architecture practice founded in 1997 by Ana Carolina Machado de Campos, with Ana Paula Naffah Perez joining as partner and Commercial Director in 2005. The firm is vertically specialized in healthcare architecture, delivering integrated design services to clients ranging from small clinics to large hospitals in Brazil and abroad. Its 51-person team operates out of the Pinheiros neighborhood of São Paulo and has completed more than 300 medical unit projects and over 120 hospital designs over 27+ years.

The firm delivers six core service lines: Master Plans (Planos Diretores), Health Enterprise Consulting, Architecture and Ambience Projects, Interior and Branding Projects, Integrated Projects (combining architecture, installations and complementary systems), and BIM Projects. Underlying project work is conducted in BIM 3D, the firm's differentiated technology stack, with deliverables including feasibility studies, physical programs, test-fits, executive projects, sanitary surveillance (Vigilância Sanitária) compliance coordination, interior specifications and 3D visualization. A separate content channel — C+A News newsletter with 900+ readers, plus Instagram and LinkedIn — supports thought leadership and inbound interest.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model with quote-based pricing tailored to client scope. Distribution is direct (website, [email protected], phone), targeting enterprise healthcare buyers such as Grupo Fleury (diagnostic units in São Paulo), Memorial Star (Recife hospital) and Plastic Day Hospital (Santos day surgery). No external investors, funding rounds, parent-company structures or M&A activity are disclosed; the firm remains co-founder managed, with Ana Paula Naffah Perez currently serving as President of ABDEH (the Brazilian Association of Health Enterprise Designers, 2022-2024 term).
