Who We Are
Who signs each part of the project.
Radyr Papini
Founder — Conduru Incorporadora
Founder and CEO of Conduru Incorporadora, which develops projects guided by ESG principles — among them Casa Tibina and the Uruçuca development. He first came to Serra Grande in 2021 and spent the following years studying the territory before drawing anything: the choice of the land, the Guarani name and the decision to occupy as little of the property as possible are his. He leads the project personally, from the first survey to the construction. Before Conduru, he built a career in innovation and technology, leading smart-city and urban sustainability projects — an experience he brought to the way Marangatú is conceived: data and method before design.
Greg Bousquet
Lead architect — Architects Office
French architect trained in Paris, with master's degrees from the École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Paris and the Sorbonne. He co-founded Triptyque Architecture and, in 2021, Architects Office, today with teams in Brazil, Portugal, Spain and Italy and projects in more than fifteen Brazilian states, as well as Peru, Chile and Portugal. The firm's awards include the iF Design Award and Rethinking The Future. He brings together technique, art and nature in a contemporary vision — and signs the Marangatú project.
Helena Ruette
Bioarchitecture consultant
Architect and permaculturist specialising in bioarchitecture and sustainable construction. Trained in architecture and urbanism at Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, with permaculture training from Instituto Permasampa, she works with community projects and bamboo construction — prototypes, courses and prefabricated housing. Her work integrates people and environment regeneratively. At Marangatú, she guides siting, natural ventilation and the choice of materials.
Guido Petinelli
Petinelli — WELL and LEED Zero
Founder and CEO of Petinelli, co-founder of GBC Brasil and former board development director at the World Green Building Council.
