The Turnkey Project combines the design and delivery of a ready-to-use space in a single contract. Sale & Leaseback frees up the capital in your property while you keep using it through a lease. Full Outsourcing includes acquiring the asset, renovating it and providing basic maintenance services. The choice depends on the property, your need for capital and how much of the management your company wants to centralize with CH3.

CH3 can evaluate new construction, renovations, retrofits and expansion projects, including corporate and commercial spaces. The solution and the terms depend on the scope of each project.

The model may offer tax benefits, depending on how the transaction is structured and on your company's tax classification. Paying in installments does not, on its own, determine the accounting or tax treatment. The assessment should take into account the contract and the guidance of your company's accounting team.

It is CH3's model that brings engineering and CH3's own capital together in a single contract and lets you pay for the build in installments over up to 60 months. The goal is to make the project easier to carry out without front-loading the entire outlay.

The facility has five classrooms, a faculty room, social areas and a kitchenette, plus 25 treatment rooms and five triage and procedure rooms. The design also includes an integrated reception and waiting area.

The solution included sound insulation between classrooms and treatment rooms, zoned HVAC and planned circulation for students, patients and staff. CH3 handled design, management and construction under the Turnkey model.

The venue brings together AERA Pilates, Tonus Gym and Race Bootcamp. The three brands share a 650 m² space spread over three floors at Pátio Guedala in São Paulo.

Construction took 120 days. The work sought to preserve each brand's identity within the complex.

CH3 applied sound insulation solutions for the different workout intensities, along with thermal comfort systems and theatrical lighting suited to the atmosphere of each studio.

It is a space delivered ready to use, with infrastructure, furniture, HVAC, lighting and finishes. The model floor CH3 delivered in October 2024 started the run of projects described in the article.

Besides the model floor, the article highlights an office suite with meeting rooms facing the city view, the CMA Advogados office and a 200 m² office for a real estate company.

The 900 m² office was built in partnership with Scala Arquitetura and keeps the visual language of the firm's Rio de Janeiro headquarters. It includes open-plan workstations, modular meeting rooms, a reception, breakout areas and a balcony.

The office occupies 1,250 m² in CENU Torre Norte, at Avenida das Nações Unidas, 12901, in São Paulo.

The design brings together 80 open-plan workstations, brainstorming rooms, directors' offices, phone booths, collaborative areas and a kitchenette.

The fit-out took 90 days, under the Plug and Play format. In this model, the space is prepared so the occupant can start using it with the office already in place.

The store is in the Centenário building, in the Berrini area of São Paulo. It covers 3,300 m² over two floors.

The work included a retrofit, fit-out of the interior spaces, structural reinforcement, technical upgrades and a new staircase between the floors. The job also covered building systems and finishes for brand areas, gourmet spaces and interactive experiences.

The build brought in more than 100 suppliers working at the same time. Meeting the deadline took careful scheduling and technical and operational coordination of the different trades.

The project covers 3,800 m² across six floors of a single-tenant building. It was delivered in four months.

The design combines high ceilings and exposed concrete and slab with intense colors on each floor. The spaces were defined from a briefing on the companies' values, goals and daily routine.

The headquarters brings together the Welcome Lounge, open meeting areas, the Townhall with a gourmet area and event space, the executive board's lounge and coffee stations on each floor. The integrated open-plan area has room for more than 300 people.

The article describes a 16,000 m² build over two floors, with room for more than 20 stores and restaurants. The design includes 300 parking spaces.

The scope includes electrical and plumbing systems, HVAC, security and fire protection systems and restroom automation. It also covers surface materials, finishes and a structure prepared for escalators and elevators.

The headquarters is in Building 50 at TecnoPUC, in Rio Grande do Sul, and covers 900 m². It was designed by MMAC Arquitetura and built by CH3.

Two radio studios were built, for Band News FM and Rádio Bandeirantes, along with three TV studios, a newsroom and office spaces.

The studios received acoustic treatment on walls, ceilings and partitions. The infrastructure also provided for redundancy of essential systems such as HVAC, electrical, the generator set and transmission antennas.

The development is in Nova Odessa, in inland São Paulo state, at km 118 of the Anhanguera highway. The first phase opened in September 2022.

CH3 was involved from the feasibility studies and phased planning through to approvals and delivery of the project. The first phase includes a logistics warehouse with more than 80,000 m² of built area.

The design included water reuse, natural ventilation and the use of natural light. In the first phase, approximately 140,000 m² was also reforested, with 12,000 native tree seedlings planted.

The article highlights ergonomics, acoustic comfort, multifunctional furniture, soft colors and natural materials. Greenery was also a recurring feature of the proposals for workspaces.

Examples include the SnowPouf, by Paola Navone for Caimi, covered in a sound-absorbing fabric, and Slalom's panels. The proposals combine acoustic function, fabrics, colors and the design of the pieces.

Plants appeared built into Fantoni's modular furniture, in La Palma's lounges and relaxation areas and in True Design's shelving compositions.

The designs explore modular, multifunctional and compact pieces, with attention to ergonomics. The idea is to allow different uses in offices and in work spaces at home.

The article presents Arper's Ralik line, with sofas, benches, poufs and side tables, and La Palma's Plus line. It also highlights Fantoni's Panorama system, designed by UNStudio, for individual work, collaboration and informal meetings.

Phone booths offer a space for individual or small-group privacy in open-plan areas and coworking spaces. The article cites solutions from Tecno and Fantoni.

CH3's team of architects attended the 21st Revestir and DW! Design Week, both held in the same week. The visit gathered references in surface materials, furniture, faucets and fittings and other materials for its projects.

Highlights include reliefs and textures, color, botanical references and large formats. The team also noticed faucets and fittings with a minimalist design, colorful sinks and toilets, and furniture pieces by Brazilian designers.

The original design called for an all-steel structure. When the price of steel rose, the technical team re-evaluated the system to preserve the architectural concept and reduce the cost of that item.

The steel structure was replaced with a composite concrete and steel solution, cutting the cost of that item by about 60%, according to the project report. The concrete masonry gave way to aerated concrete blocks to reduce the overall weight.

The house was designed to accommodate photovoltaic panels and a water reuse system for cleaning and garden irrigation.

The article recommends considering acoustics from the start of planning. That way the solutions can be coordinated with the layout, avoiding more complex interventions later on.

CH3 used Trisoft acoustic clouds, PET wool panels mounted on the ceiling. The solution combines sound absorption with the design of the space's suspended elements.

Beyond keeping spaces and services running, facilities management takes part in discussions about office occupancy and teams' needs. That means understanding when being on site makes sense and which spaces support that routine.

The article suggests assessing the different experiences of working from home, the costs of keeping an office and how to organize when teams come in. It also highlights occupancy management and the quality of the experience in the physical space.

The article mentions partial or full renovations, moves to new headquarters and the creation of social areas. In one of the projects described, CH3 installed relaxation areas, a gourmet area and leisure spaces.

It makes it possible to reassess structural, material and finish solutions in light of the budget and the project's needs. The alternatives must take into account quality, look, schedule and client approval.

The analysis should weigh the material's cost together with suppliers, labor and construction time. It also needs to check that the alternative keeps the intended function and appearance.

No. The article uses this example to show that removing a column may require a new structural solution and raise costs. The team should study alternatives that meet the design's needs on schedule and on budget.

The article links the study of how people relate to their surroundings with the presence of natural elements in the built environment. In the office, this connection guides proposals for making spaces more welcoming.

The article cites vegetation, images of plants, organic shapes, earthy tones, decorative water features and natural light. It also includes surface materials that evoke wood.

The goal is to make everyday use of the space easier for people with different needs, promoting independence and inclusion. The article treats this as part of planning new offices and adapting existing ones.

The work described covers developing designs and carrying out construction and remodeling of workspaces. The focus is on building accessibility solutions into corporate spaces.

They are maintenance services that continue caring for the office after the construction is delivered. The idea is to bring these needs together under a single point of contact to support the client's operations.

In the format described in the article, preventive maintenance is recurring, with monthly visits. Corrective maintenance handles one-off needs through on-demand visits.

The preventive plan covers electrical, HVAC, millwork, painting and general building work. The corrective plan covers electrical, plumbing, window and door frames and metalwork, painting, and floors and coverings.

Yes. In the Turnkey model, architecture, engineering and construction stay with the same team, in a single contract. CH3 also builds the designs of partner architecture firms.
