Design and construction, as one team.
Melo Design is a Boston studio specializing in high-end home design — from the first idea to the last detail.
A home should be beautiful, buildable and personal.
We started Melo Design because the best homes happen when design and construction share one conversation. When the person drawing the stair understands the structure beneath it — and the person managing the site understands the intent behind it — nothing is lost along the way.
The result is quiet, warm, deeply considered architecture, delivered with the technical confidence of a team that has stood on the site.
Two disciplines. One studio.
Bruna Melo
Bruna shapes the design language of every project — the proportions, materials and light that make a house feel like it was always meant to be there.
Moises Mendes
Moises makes sure what is drawn can be built — structure, permitting and site coordination — so the beauty survives contact with reality.
Drawn at the desk. Checked on site.
The same people who draw the stair walk the framing. It is the simplest way we know to keep a design honest.
