Founded in 1999, Forte, Gimenes & Marcondes Ferraz (FGMF) has shown in these few years the ability and flexibility to deal with a wide range of design types and scales. Based on the partners’ international and academic experience, the studio pursues a different and fresh approach to every design proposed. There are no pre-determined formulae or strict method defined – we start always from scratch and make the design process our research tool for a brand new vision of the city.We are proud to have earned several relevant national architectural prizes, mostly awarded by the Brazilian Institute of Architects (IAB-SP). Such prizes stimulate our passion and focus on creative and efficient designs.
