FUSP Headquarters Renovation by MMBB Arquitetos, Hugo Mesquita, and Carolina Bueno

The FUSP (Fundação da Universidade de São Paulo) has completed a renovation of its headquarters in São Paulo, integrating existing buildings with a new structure. The project, designed by MMBB Arquitetos, Hugo Mesquita, and Carolina Bueno, covers a total area of 1,050 m², comprising 490 m² of existing building, 400 m² of new building, and 160 m² of ancillary facilities. The design team faced the challenge of harmoniously merging old and new while adhering to strict occupancy regulations set by the area's developer. Key architects include Hugo Mesquita, Maria João Figueiredo, Marta Moreira, and Milton Braga, with interior design by Carolina Bueno Andrade Silva and collaborators. The project also involved landscape architecture by VITO arquitetura e paisagem, visual communication by Nitsche Projetos Visuais, and lighting design by Anna Turra Lighting Design. Construction was carried out by Maciel Construções, with project management by Julio César de Oliveira and architectural direction by Mauro Halluli. The renovation was completed in 2025, as documented by photographer Pedro Kok.
