Metro Arquitetura e Engenharia

What Metro Arquitetura e Engenharia does

Metro Arquitetura e Engenharia is a privately held, founder-owned architecture and engineering firm founded in 2016 and headquartered in Arcoverde, Pernambuco, Brazil. The firm serves SMB clients in the Sertão de Pernambuco region — primarily owners of dental clinics, restaurants, retail stores, and affluent residential clients — with remote engagements available to customers in other Brazilian states. Its stated differentiator is the application of "Neuroarquitetura" (neuroarchitecture), using brain-science principles to inform lighting, circulation flow, color, and material choices in spatial design, ostensibly to influence customer behavior in commercial environments and resident wellbeing in residential ones. The company has delivered over 500 projects cumulatively across its three service lines since inception.

The firm operates three integrated service lines delivered by an in-house team of 13 employees: (1) Arquitetura Comercial — full-scope commercial architectural projects including facade, interior, neuroarchitecture, and construction supervision; (2) Residencial Alto Padrão — customized high-end residential architecture, interior design, built-in furniture, and renovation/retrofit; and (3) Consultoria Comercial — pre-construction space diagnostics and technical reports covering layout, facade, identity, and market viability. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; commercial projects typically run 4–8 weeks and high-end residential projects 8–16 weeks.

Metro Arquitetura runs a direct-sales go-to-market with WhatsApp as the primary conversion channel (wa.me/5581999419585), supplemented by an Instagram presence (@metro.ae) and a portfolio/testimonials-driven website. Client acquisition relies on organic social, word-of-mouth referrals, and direct messaging, with no intermediary channels or partnerships disclosed. The firm is LGPD-compliant, bootstrapped with no external funding, and operates as an independent professional-services studio in regional Brazil.
