About

A Campo Traviesa is a young firm based in Brazil. Founded in 2024, it encompasses an independent practice by Agu Sienra Chaves.

Despite its very modest current size, its experience spans urbanism, architecture, carpentry and product design, having received international awards in all these scales.


The name —approximately equivalent to "trailblazer" and "road-less mode"— synthetizes its essence:

Co-discovering new paths to achieve different results in how we build, maintain and relate with natural and human preexistences.


Furthermore, in Spanish, a campo traviesa expression draws key connotations: a pradera's raw smell can almost be felt.

Rooted on the elemental landscapes of the Rio de la Plata and why not, aware about the ruling wilderness of our Continent, we treat each project with curiosity and careful listening to client's and user's needs, without being uninformed about the intensive sourcing side of the construction industry.

By 'road-less mode', a campo traviesa also imply a necessity for different soltions as a way to co-unveil better solutions, in a context of urban and environmental challenges we all face nowadays.

We help clients that want to put forward projects that demand new and tailored solutions, unlike making users adapt to a repeated formula of other projects.


Lab

Disciplines that shape our physical spaces are intertwined, at all scales.

Part of our experience unites humble material tests, microservices, cabinetmaking, supervision and maintenance consulting. Also, several written works complete a broad approach, enabling to nurture projects from these various sides.

This facilitates flexible approaches to projects, ultimately allowing us to address problems with care and the best possible understanding about its multiple layers that in fact express on Earth without split categories. 


In the past years we adopted the approach known as design-build studio for some of our xs and small-scale timber completed works.

Carpentry, cabinetmaking, supervision and maintenance consulting area available under special request.
