KOTAI is a design-build studio based in Boston, MA, dedicated to creating authentic spaces and purpose-driven solutions that reflect our clients’ unique lifestyles and values. Founded by Giovanna and Paulo, a designer and general contractor team, KOTAI brings together thoughtful design and execution within one integrated practice.

This dual perspective allows us to approach each project with clarity of vision and a deep respect for how spaces are built and lived in.

Focused on residential projects, our work spans new construction, remodeling, and additions. Our creative studio is committed to managing resources thoughtfully and guiding the building process with care, efficiency, and attention to detail. Guided by a philosophy that celebrates design solutions that evolve with their users, and grounded in a strong sense of purpose and intention, KOTAI seeks to enhance the living experience and foster a genuine sense of belonging.
