The office Bernardes+Jacobsen was created in 2001 fruit of the union between the architects Thiago Bernardes and Paulo Jacobsen. In 2005 Bernardo Jacobsen became partner of the office. Consequence of a history that crosses three generations, the office became one of the biggest architecture office in Brazil, with more than 1000 built projects including residences, offices, leisure, entertainment, institutional and furniture design. An architecture that seeks an equilibrium between interior and exterior, the plastic use of materials and the client’s needs and wishes has been settled as the office’s own language. Nowadays, BJA is developing projects of architecture and urbanism in Brazil and abroad, although has been divided into two cells: Bernardes Architecture and Jacobsen Arquitecture, both with head offices in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo and staffed with over 50 collaborators.
