What Studio Prudencio does

Studio Prudencio is a privately held architecture firm founded in 2008 by Andreoni Prudencio in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The firm provides comprehensive architectural design services including architecture, interior design, landscape integration, and lighting design coordination, serving primarily real estate developers (incorporadoras) and, to a lesser extent, institutional clients. The portfolio consists of six documented projects ranging from 1,989m² to 16,000m², including residential buildings (Lucas 49, Carandá, Orla, Luiza 343, Gallery/NVY) and an institutional headquarters (SEBRAE-MG in Belo Horizonte), with projects spanning Rio Grande do Sul, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Minas Gerais.

The firm's core technology is BIM (Building Information Modeling), adopted as the primary working tool since 2010, positioning Studio Prudencio as a pioneer in this technology in Brazil. BIM enables integrated design development, comprehensive information management across the building conception process, and coordination among all project stakeholders. The firm leverages this platform alongside collaborations with specialty partners including Creare Paisagismo (landscape design), Studio FOS Iluminação (lighting design), and Mottin Beck (interior design) to deliver multidisciplinary projects.

The business model is professional services–based, with project fees typically structured as a percentage of construction cost or fixed fees per square meter, custom-quoted for each engagement. The go-to-market is direct B2B engagement with developers and institutional clients, secured through portfolio presentations, referrals, and direct relationships. Marketing is conducted primarily through a portfolio website, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook. The firm employs 8 people, including 7 registered architects, and operates without disclosed external funding or institutional investment.
