About Nara Grossi : Gema is an architecture studio that operates across various scales and typologies, developing residential, commercial and institutional projects. It engages with both contemporary architecture and cultural heritage through a deep understanding of the city and the social and geographical context in which each project is situated.
Creative processes, almost artistic, stem from a repertoire that includes sensory experiences, literature, landscaping, fashion, technology, arts and behavioral trends rooted in Brazilian identity.
Projects are tailor-made, carefully crafted for each client and each specific location. Gema believes that design is a powerful tool for improving people’s quality of life and transforming realities.
