Our origin
André Altair didn’t set out to build an agency. It started with a semester abroad, then a summer in Madrid, crashing with friends of friends in borrowed flats and inherited villas. What he lacked in credentials, he made up for in fluency—cultural, social, spatial. He moved easily between people and places, reading both with the same quiet precision.
After finishing a degree in communications and hospitality, André spent his twenties in motion. He lived in Milan, took meetings in São Paulo, helped friends set up showrooms, gallery residencies, and artist retreats. He noticed the same pattern everywhere. People in film, fashion, and art needed spaces that didn’t just look good, but felt right. Places that offered privacy without stiffness. Elegance without interruption. Stillness, when it was time to think.
At 28, he formalized what he had already been doing for years. Altair Estates began as a placement network among friends, then quietly became the preferred partner for studios, designers, and cultural producers working between city and sea.
Today, André continues to lead Altair with the same instinct he started with—placing people where they can land, reset, and make whatever comes next.
