Renata Gaia Arquitetura

What Renata Gaia Arquitetura does

Renata Gaia Arquitetura (RGA) is a São Paulo-based boutique architecture and interior design practice founded in 2012 by Renata Gaia following her graduation from Escola da Cidade and supplementary studies at Parsons, School of Visual Arts, and Cooper Union in New York. The firm operates with a core team of approximately six professionals, including partner Patricia Gaia as coordinator and a small group of architects (Cássio Riman, Filipe Reis), a designer (Helena Maia), and finance (Fernanda Guimarães), with Renata Gaia personally authoring every project from concept through final production.

The firm delivers three service lines—residential architecture, commercial architecture, and integrated interior design—plus a curation offering—and, since roughly 2020, an adjacent e-commerce platform (Renata Gaia Shop) that monetizes curated Brazilian design objects. Its commercial book features fashion retail (Farm Rio's first two U.S. flagships in New York Soho and Miami Aventura Mall, plus three IDA boutiques and Feline on Oscar Freire), healthcare (Clínica Bianca Viscomi Dermatologia, Consultório Doc & Co.), and design showroom work (Studio Massa for Renata Brennand), while the residential side covers a dozen high-end apartments and houses in São Paulo. Pricing is per-project and undisclosed; the GTM is sales-led through direct commission, referrals from past clients and industry partners, and editorial coverage in Casa e Jardim, Vogue Brasil, Harper's Bazaar, ArchDaily Brasil, and Glamour. Geographic reach is concentrated in São Paulo with selective international work (New York, Miami) executed in partnership with established architects such as Marcelo Rosenbaum.
