Ricardo Almeida Studio by Two Arquitetura – Architectural Haute Couture
At the convergence of fashion and architecture, the Ricardo Almeida Studio, Located in Cidade Matarazzo, one of the most exclusive complexes in São Paulo — designed by Two Arquitetura — redefines the concept of haute couture within an architectural framework. Translating core fashion principles such as precision, exclusivity, and material excellence into space, this studio goes beyond a functional workspace: it becomes a sculptural expression of the stylist’s identity.

With deep insight into Ricardo Almeida’s brand DNA — known for refined menswear tailoring and a meticulous eye for detail — Two Arquitetura created a studio that operates as an "atelier of ideas." Clean lines, geometric volumes, and a monochromatic, dark palette reflect the stylist’s signature aesthetic, with custom-designed surfaces tailored exclusively for him.
Materials were selected as if curating a couture garment: Platinum Wood, Perita-tone stainless steel, solid Italian terrazzo marble, hammered bronze, and programmable LED panels. The result is an architectural garment — every detail tailored for perfect fit. Light meets structure, furniture meets mirror, mirror aligns with the grid. The studio achieves absolute visual continuity, reflecting the client’s demand for symmetry and rigor.
Beyond design, the space reflects Ricardo’s role as host.

The centerpiece is a retro-style bar, placed at the heart of the layout. Crafted from book-matched stone and wrapped in retro-lit glass tubes, it glows softly with hammered bronze and Suflex, offering warmth and intimacy within the dark-toned environment. It serves not only as a social hub but as a symbol of the studio’s versatility — a place for gatherings, shows, and celebration.

Furniture is bespoke and globally sourced, with cutting-edge technology seamlessly integrated. Highlights include 360° angled fitting mirrors, central LED panels showcasing archival moments, Vibrance daylight-simulating lighting, and a monumental rotating LED display window engineered with embedded electrical systems — an iconic symbol of transformation and motion.

This project is not merely interior design; it is architectural haute couture: a bold and symbolic work marking the 40th anniversary of the Ricardo Almeida brand. By embodying identity, performance, and emotion in spatial form, Two Arquitetura transformed architecture into a tailored experience — a space that dresses ideas with the same elegance as a perfectly cut suit.
