MARCOZERO Estudio

What MARCOZERO Estudio does

MARCOZERO Estudio is a São Paulo-based architecture, urbanism, and design firm founded in 2015 by three partners — Davi Eustachio, Pedro Coltro, and Thiago Vita. The firm operates with approximately six employees and delivers design services across residential renovations, commercial fit-outs, corporate office design, public housing, and urban furniture. Its client base spans financial services (Banco Modal, Happy Capital), innovation and corporate tenants (Inovabra), law firms (MBS Advogados, Cordeiro Lima e Advogados), and hospitality/restaurant ventures, indicating a multi-segment commercial practice rather than a single-vertical studio.

The firm has built a portfolio that includes both small-scale residential interiors and large-scale corporate environments, with a notable 32,000m² corporate office project demonstrating capacity beyond a typical boutique footprint. It maintains a strategic partnership with Piratininga Arquitetos Associados, which extends its delivery capacity for larger commissions. The firm is privately held, bootstrapped, and has not raised external funding. Its geographic footprint is anchored in São Paulo and extends to projects in Bahia, the Federal District, Curitiba, and one international project in Portugal.

The business model is project-based professional services: revenue is generated through design fees tied to project scope, with the three founding partners leading client engagement and creative direction. The firm leverages publications in architecture and design media (ArchDaily, Casa e Jardim, and similar outlets) as a low-cost channel for brand building and inbound demand. There is no evidence of standardized product offerings, subscription pricing, or technology platform revenue — the firm competes on design authorship, partner-led client relationships, and editorial visibility.
