We are Gaia Sonzogni and Jorge Campodonico. We develop homes in the places we love, and we hold each one to the standard of a custom commission.
A home is a whole system, and we want every part of it to be excellent: design and technology, passive architecture and mindfulness, the wellbeing of the people who live there, and the long life of the asset. We don't build for volume. We build because we care about getting it right, and when every part is excellent, the value follows.
Homes
Approach
Eight commitments, held together by one thread, that make each home unlike any other.
No two homes are alike. We carry a philosophy, not a style, so each home takes its identity from its site, its light and the people who will live there. Whatever its starting point, every home is reshaped until it feels like its own.
We are a design-led firm. Our in-house studio designs the architecture, interiors, landscape, lighting and furnishings together, from the first sketch to the last detail, so every room, material and view belongs to the same idea.
Most pieces in our homes are unique and made for the project: millwork and kitchens by Italian craftsmen, custom art by artists and galleries. We care for the whole process, from in-depth design and shop drawings to sample approvals and quality control during installation.
A written Construction Standards Manual is part of every contract, and nothing is covered until it is inspected and approved. Design and budget are developed together, and our in-house studio protects the budget when costs move. Gaia and Jorge walk the site, often every day.
“il filo conduttore”
Every home gets its own book: its story, its materials and how to care for them. Behind it is the complete record of the project: drawings, shop drawings, approved samples, submittals and inspections, all kept in one place and open to the owners.
Passive design, a high-performing envelope and durable, low-emission materials keep the home comfortable, efficient and healthy to live in. Systems are tested and balanced before delivery, so the home performs as designed and keeps its beauty as years and trends change.
Rooted in the belief that our environments shape how we live, feel and age. Six principles guide every design decision: Movement, Biophilic Core, Light & Air Intelligence, Social Architecture, Restoration and Behavioral Triggers. Together they nurture physical, mental and emotional well-being.
Every project runs on a platform Jorge built. Live cameras on the job site, every expense, the timeline, contracts, documents and submittals, all in one place, shared with everyone involved in the project. Trust comes easily when everyone sees the same thing.
About
JO is Jorge. GA is Gaia. Every home begins as a conversation between the two of us.
We stay on every home from the first walk to the day the owners move in. Design, financing, construction and delivery are decided together, so nothing is handed off and nothing is lost between phases.
What we care about is the work itself: homes that are calm, well made, and still good to live in years from now.
Managing Director, Finance & Development
Jorge brings more than 25 years in residential lending and a clear understanding of how good financing turns good design into lasting value. He also built the platform we use to run every project in the open.
Founder, Architectural and Interior Designer, principal of Gaia/S Studio
With more than 100 delivered projects in Miami, Gaia brings architectural sensitivity, construction literacy, and hands-on quality control to every site.
