Welcome.

Founded in 2001 and led by the partners , and , BCMF Architects has been standing out for its excellence in the development of public and private projects in various scales and typologies, specially great size and complexity, being recognized as one of the exponents of the new generation of Brazilian Architecture.

Our performance seeks to be very diversified, covering from interior architecture (corporative and retail), residencies and buildings for the real estate market (multi-residential, mixed use and commercials) to great size works (stadiums, sports centers, industrials and technological parks) and infrastructure (mobility projects, landscaping and urbanism masterplan).

From the initial conception to the executive project, always working with the BIM platform, we seek to maintain a strict quality control of the work through the careful detailing of the architectural project, together with the general coordination of the other complementary projects, coordinating all the interferences and conflicts of the various subjects.


Among the main built projects, stands out the awarded Deodoro Sports Complex  (Rio 2007 Pan-american Games), the Official Masterplan of the Rio 2016 Olympics Bid and the renovation of the legendary Mineirão Stadium, in Belo Horizonte, for the 2014 World Cup, becoming the only architecture firm in Brazil to have been part of the three mega sport events that happened in the country recently.


Besides these emblematic great size projects, stands out as well, in another scale, the project of the GOOGLE Engineering Center in Belo Horizonte and the Google Event Space of the GOOGLE headquarters in São Paulo (a partnership with MACh, Hardy Design and Atiaîa).


With many awarded, published and displayed projects in Brazil and abroad, BCMF Architects was included on the FAST COMPANY (influential publishing on the north-american innovation, business and design market) ranking as one of the 10 most innovative companies of South-America.”
