THE STUDIO
A home should feel
like you belong there.
We are a Boston-based architectural and interior design studio, bringing a Brazilian sensibility to the way spaces look, feel, and function.
Our work begins with how you live. We connect thoughtful layouts, tactile materials, and carefully resolved details to create interiors that feel warm, personal, and easy to use.
Founded by Victoria Oliveira, an architect trained in Brazil and an interior designer based in Boston, Studio VICO brings together an architectural eye and practical experience in project coordination.

DESIGN EXPLORATION
From material
to mood.
Material palettes, 3D visualizations, and detailed drawings bring clarity to your project before work begins.
Concept imagery illustrating a design direction.
OUR POINT OF VIEW
New England character.
Brazilian warmth.
We’re drawn to the proportions and craftsmanship of New England homes, and to the natural materials, fluid forms, and connection to the outdoors found in Brazilian design.
That meeting point shapes our approach: preserve what gives a home its character, make room for the way you live now, and choose details that will continue to feel right.

OUR PROCESS
A clear path from
idea to implementation.
Each project has its own scope. Our process keeps the decisions connected from the first conversation onward.
Define the direction.
Layouts, references, and material palettes bring the concept into focus before we develop the details.
Resolve the design.
Visualizations, selections, and drawings help you understand the space and make informed decisions.
Support the next steps.
We coordinate design information with your contractor and trade partners. Implementation support is tailored to the agreed scope.
DESIGN SERVICES & PARTNERSHIPS
Good design depends
on good collaboration.
We work with homeowners, contractors, and fabrication teams to connect the design intent with the details of execution. For custom millwork and finish carpentry, our network includes Carvyn Custom, a separate fabrication and installation company.
Discuss a collaborationCLIENT REVIEWS
In our clients’ words.
“I had just moved into my new home and was struggling to bring everything together. Victoria really understood the look I was going for and helped me create a cohesive design while incorporating furniture I already owned. The moodboard, thoughtful recommendations, and shopping list made the entire process so much easier. I finally had a clear vision for my space!”
“Working with Victoria was such a great experience! She helped us rethink our laundry room and coffee station, making both spaces feel more functional, organized, and beautifully designed. I loved how she paid attention to the little details while keeping everything aligned with our home's style. She has a wonderful eye for design and really knows how to make everyday spaces feel special.”
“Sharing an apartment with three other girls meant we were constantly running out of storage and struggling to make our kitchen work for everyone. Victoria came up with such creative solutions to maximize the space, including a hidden laundry area, more storage, a dining space, and a better use of our window nook. She really understood our needs and showed us possibilities we hadn't even considered. The consultation gave us a clear direction for making our apartment both functional and beautiful.”
