ABOUT

THE STUDIO

"Striking a balance between nature & luxury."

Our Story

 Arqeza Design Studio is a multidisciplinary design studio based in Miami, FL, founded by creative director and designer Mariana Pinto.

Raised between the lush mountains of Brazil and the sun-soaked coast of California, Mariana brings a rich, cross-cultural perspective to her work. Her design ethos is rooted in the belief that spaces should feel as luxurious as they are natural—elevated, yet deeply livable.

At Arqeza, we blend global influences with a strong foundation in Brazilian modernist design, drawing inspiration from organic forms, earthy textures, and timeless architecture. Mariana’s work reflects an intuitive connection to nature, imbued with an eclectic spark that brings each project to life.

“Nature is really where I feel most at home, so for me it’s important to find that balance between what feels luxurious and what feels natural, comforting, and livable.”

From interiors to product and brand development, Arqeza is more than a design studio—it’s a creative partner in crafting deeply personal, aesthetically captivating environments. Our specialties include:

Interior Design: Creating atmospheres that are both striking and soulful.

Art & Ceramics: Expressive pieces that bring texture and individuality to a space.

Brand & Product Development: Shaping stories through thoughtful design.

 

Whether it’s a home, a brand, or a one-of-a-kind object, Arqeza is where natural beauty meets artistic intention.

Project Highlights

Ocean Point Residences
 

This project involves a complete top-to-bottom renovation of an 11 story residential building in Miami Beach. Originally built in 1970, the building was severely lacking upkeep and a sense of identity. To give it its own character amongst a row of new beachfront high-rises, we played into some of its original features like its arched wave-like canopy, and used it as an anchoring theme throughout the project. We also wanted to emphasize the serenity of the beachfront property, using natural elements throughout.
