who we are
about us
Maribe was born from the union of the paths of Heloísa Marletti and Nathalia Ribeiro, architects who share the same desire to create spaces that welcome, inspire, and tell real stories. The name comes from the combination of the surnames — Marletti + Ribeiro — and symbolizes exactly that: two visions that meet to form something unique.
We believe that architecture goes beyond designing environments. It's about listening, understanding, and transforming the daily life of those who live in each space. Our work unites functionality and beauty, tradition and novelty, always with attention to the details that make a home truly yours.
Heloísa Marletti
Architect and urban planner graduated from UNICAP, postgraduate student in Neuroarchitecture. Has experience in interior architecture, academic research, and visual representation, creating projects that value comfort, aesthetics, and presence. Driven by art, travel, and new experiences that enrich her perspective.
Nathalia Ribeiro
Architect and urban planner from UNICAP, with a background in interiors, commercial projects, and graphic design. Passionate about woodworking and practical, well-detailed solutions, brings precision and care to each project. Finds inspiration in outdoor activities, yoga, and small wellness rituals.
Together, we guide each Maribe project from start to finish. Our purpose is simple: to create environments where people feel good, seen, and welcomed. Each space carries the personality of those who will inhabit it — and it's an honor to be part of this construction.
our brand
Maribe's visual identity reflects what we believe: architecture that welcomes, values stories, and connects to the place where it's born. Our symbol unites the cultural strength of Recife, the sensitivity of Brazilian arts, and how we understand the meeting between past and present.
The brand uses cutouts from the Marco Zero drawing, forming the landscape of Rua do Bom Jesus, one of the city's most emblematic streets. The blue shapes represent the cobblestones; the colored shapes, the historic buildings. The red circle symbolizes the Marco itself, from where the streets expand — a reference to Recife's urbanism and the starting point of our concept.
Two shades of blue allude to the meeting of the waters of Capibaribe and Beberibe before reaching the sea. This union also represents the essence of Maribe: the mix of influences, perspectives, and stories — from sea to river, from salt to fresh, from Marletti to Ribeiro.
The mosaic composition draws inspiration from Hélio Oiticica and Tarsila do Amaral, artists we admire and who translate the richness of color, form, and Brazilianness. The color palette is born from Recife, while the rounded and organic typography reinforces softness, proximity, and modernity.
The result is a brand that carries what we seek in our projects: lightness, personality, and a beauty that welcomes.
