São Paulo, Brazil

Founded in 2015 by Christian Teshirogi and Noelia Monteiro, Estudio Flume develops socio-environmental architecture in remote regions of Brazil. Their work responds to diverse biomes, with projects like the Coconut Harvester’s Centre, Maranhão; Fishermen’s Kitchen, Rio de Janeiro; and Apuí Agroforestry Centre, Amazonia. Their research-driven approach involves lectures, publications, and international exhibitions, including at the Canadian Centre for Architecture and ENSAG. Featured in Architectural Review, Domus, and PLOT, their practice emphasizes local partnerships and sustainability. Awards include the Simon Prize (Fundació Mies van der Rohe), Ammodo Architecture Award, and the Incluir Award from the UNDP and SEBRAE. Estudio Flume fosters community-oriented, context-specific design as a vehicle for ecological and social regeneration.
