GAVINHO is a design and build atelier where architecture, interiors, construction and furniture come together under one roof. We accept a limited number of projects each year — because we believe in total dedication, not scale. We're looking for people who care about craft, who value time, and who want to stay — not just pass through.
View Open Positions'At GAVINHO, there is no handoff. The person who draws the first line is the same person who watches the last stone being placed. That's not a process — it's a way of being.'
These are the principles that shape how we work, what we build, and who we are. They are not aspirational — they are operational. Every project, every day. The client doesn't end at delivery — they enter the GAVINHO universe.
We don't hand off. We don't delegate responsibility. From the first conversation to the last light switch, every decision is ours. We stay until it's right. The person who conceives the space is the same person who oversees its construction — and who is accountable for the result.
We treat time with the same care we treat stone, wood and light. We don't rush. We don't cut corners. The right moment for each decision is as important as the decision itself. This is why we accept a limited number of projects each year — scarcity is a value, not a constraint.
Systems serve us, not the other way around. We value the hand that chooses the marble, the eye that adjusts the light, the instinct that knows when a space is complete. Design is not exhausted in catalogues — it is born from real life, from emotions and lived contexts.
Architecture, interiors, construction, furniture — we don't separate disciplines. Every project is one conversation, one team, one delivery. There are no departments at GAVINHO. Only people who care about the same outcome.
We don't announce. We deliver. Our work speaks through the people who live in it. Every project is documented, photographed and archived as part of the GAVINHO legacy — because the work outlives the moment, and so does its memory.
The client doesn't end at delivery. They enter the GAVINHO universe — with aftercare, access to private events, and priority on future projects. We build for the long term, in every sense.
We're growing deliberately. Each person who joins GAVINHO becomes part of every project — not a department.
We're always interested in meeting exceptional people. If you believe in craft, care about time, and want to be part of something built to last — we'd like to hear from you.
