Three perspectives.
One integrated practice.

UAI is method.
It is territory.
It is Minas.

01

Urbanism

We design places that connect territory, infrastructure and everyday life.

  • Masterplans and land development

    We organise land use, access, plots, public areas, infrastructure and implementation stages to turn land into a viable development.

  • Neighbourhood Impact Assessments

    We assess mobility, infrastructure, landscape and urban-life impacts, defining measures that reduce risk throughout the approval process.

  • Urban planning and design

    We integrate mobility, housing, mixed uses, landscape and public space to create connected and desirable places.

  • Place branding and territorial development

    We translate local identity, culture and economic potential into positioning, projects and development strategies.

02

Architecture

We design with technical precision, contextual awareness and a commitment to permanence.

  • Architecture and statutory approvals

    We develop projects from concept to technical documentation, connecting programme, legislation, approvals, property regularisation and spatial quality.

  • Retrofit, heritage and rehabilitation

    We adapt existing buildings to new uses, improving comfort, performance and safety while preserving identity and recovering real-estate value.

  • BIM and design coordination

    We integrate information and disciplines in digital models to anticipate conflicts, support decisions and reduce waste during construction.

  • Construction management

    We coordinate quality, schedule, cost and technical decisions to provide greater certainty throughout implementation.

03

Intelligence

We turn complex information into clear, viable and actionable decisions.

  • Technical and economic feasibility

    We compare constraints, costs, development potential and scenarios before major investment decisions are made.

  • Real-estate structuring

    We connect product, territory, stages, partners and business models to structure development opportunities.

  • Project management and PMO

    We organise scope, deadlines, responsibilities, risks and deliverables to keep complex projects under control.

  • Sustainability and energy efficiency

    We translate environmental comfort, energy, resources, resilience and social impact into practical and measurable choices.

Minas Brasil

Local experience.
A wider outlook.

We are a Minas Gerais-based practice working across urbanism, architecture and territorial intelligence. Our work moves between the scale of the building and the scale of the city, combining over two decades of technical experience with a contemporary understanding of territory.

Every project begins with listening, advances through analysis and becomes a clear strategy for people, organisations and places.

Global problems.

Local solutions.

Let’s talk

A project begins
with a good question.

Projects, partnerships
