Graduated from São Paulo’s Mackenzie University in 1983, Arthur Casas is an architect and urban planner whose work has been appraised in Brazil for over two decades. Through a casual, yet elegant, vocabulary he rescues the innovative tradition of Brazilian Modernism. He built his career starting with interior and product design, gradually incorporating larger commissions. One of his strongest characteristics is to constantly reinvent his work through an intense dialogue with his team, guided by the qualities that gave his projects broad recognition.
“From our offices in São Paulo and New York, our team works in simultaneous projects in several countries. Our increasing presence abroad includes built works in Tokyo, Paris and New York, or under construction, such as apartments, restaurants and private residences in China, Mexico, Uruguay and the United States.”
