Gru.a is an architecture office based in Rio de Janeiro, founded in 2013 by Caio Calafate and Pedro Varella. Their practice sits at the intersection of architecture and art, exploring how spaces, structures, and material gestures can acquire new readings beyond their function. Their architectural work, art installations, and exhibition designs are assertive assemblages where the tectonic and the conceptual find a precise balance.
