Okha arquitetura e design

Founded in 2010 by architect Priscila Pereira, Okha arquitetura e design has established itself as a significant force in contemporary Brazilian architecture. The firm's name, derived from "Oca" - meaning a traditional indigenous dwelling without internal divisions - reflects their philosophy of creating cohesive, integrated spatial experiences.

Based in São José dos Campos, the practice evolved from Pereira's early architectural observations in Ubatuba during the 1980s to become a multidisciplinary studio specializing in high-end residential and commercial projects. Pereira, who graduated from Universidade Braz Cubas in 2001, leads the firm alongside key team members including Cristiane Zanella from Universidade de Taubaté and Ana Beatriz de Paula from Universidade do Vale do Paraíba.

The studio's design methodology emphasizes spatial fluidity and user-centric solutions, demonstrated in projects like the recently completed Galeriah House (2024). Their work is characterized by a sophisticated understanding of volumetric composition, material articulation, and environmental integration.

Okha's portfolio showcases their expertise in creating architecturally bold yet contextually sensitive designs. The practice has developed a distinctive architectural language that combines Brazilian modernist traditions with contemporary spatial innovations, establishing themselves as a noteworthy contributor to Brazil's architectural discourse.
