GRBX Arquitetos



The GRBX team of architects, designers and technicians is currently led by Gustavo Arbex who graduated in 2002 from FAU_FAAP in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The design practice was established in 2004 with a number of signature projects along contemporary architectural lines, characterized by personalized design approaches and informed by smart constructive solutions.


Passionate about design challenges, Arbex has acquired an eye for architectural detail which has accumulated by virtue of his involvement in over 2,00,000 sq m of projects ranging from single family and multiple unit residences to health centres, sports facilities and warehouses.


GRBX build beautiful, expansive and comfortable modernist villas which are characterized by a wonderful admix between functionality and warmth.


Their work is typified by an ingeniously rich, varied and imaginative use of materials, be that concrete, wood or stone. The buildings are animated and colorful but also highly refined and elegant with a superb admix of shared and private space. Arbex also plays beautifully with light and shade.


In addition much thought goes into to effective thermal management..


Ultimately, these are expansive, grand, impressive homes but at the same time they exude a Latin warmth and friendliness and are designed above all for comfortable living.


In this project, Gustavo will be working with friend and colleague, Fernando Ghelfi.
