AKQA’s São Paulo Outpost Is a Quirky Space With Nice Neighbors

AKQA is known for its tech-driven, highly creative work for clients like Nike and Google, so it’s no surprise that its offices reflect this creative spirit as well. In São Paulo, Brazil, AKQA Casa oozes that quirky vibrancy baked into the agency’s core. Located in a residential neighborhood, the South American team took over the space from its previous owners—an older couple that found themselves with too much room after their children grew up—in 2014 and called in architectural firm Estúdio Penha to give the space an ecologically friendly face-lift that brought in the outdoors.
