Florianópolis International Airport underwent a privatization process in 2017. As required by the current operator, a terminal with two operational levels (boarding and landing) and ten boarding bridges was designed. This new structure was installed to the south of the main runway – in a territory with no previous occupation – in order to allow the existing terminal, on the opposite side of the complex, to be deactivated. To enable its implementation, new accesses from the city and new parking areas were built, as well as new taxiways and a new apron area/ramp.
In Londrina, the 170 m² residence is a place for a mix of eras and references and tells the story of a couple from Paraná. The space harmonizes the collection of pieces that the resident, the farmer and designer Valdomiro Favoreto, collects since he was 20.
In order to expand the internal area, the living room and kitchen open to the outside area, integrating the space. The yard has won an ipe deck on the floor and spaghetti armchairs of the 1960s. The minimalist air is result of the texas grass and the mirror hanging on the wall, the dweller’s design.
Manacás Project was designed for a young couple, which the greatest desire was for a fully integrated, functional and modern house. Set on a sloping plot, the house has its main access via a wide staircase, highlighted by a natural stone wall. All rooms are located on the ground floor, allowing greater integration and functionality. To take advantage of the space, the garage roof has been transformed into a large mezzanine. The kitchen is integrated with the barbecue through large aluminum doors, allowing greater fluidity between spaces. The great advantage of this house is the mix of materials; stone, wood and metal; and the use of conventional structure with metallic structure, as can be seen in the supports of the mezzanine and barbecue slabs. Following a hostel concept, all rooms have openings to the pool, allowing visibility and easy access to the leisure area.

A young executive from São Paulo lives on this 125m2 apartment. The apartment 73 of the Flora Building is a creation (from design to execution) by Studio Arquiteturas (or Architectures in English). “The client was very open during the creative process. He arrived with no images or references. So we strived to understand his personality and lifestyle”, explains the architect Luciana Uras from Studio Arquiteturas.
Surprises from the apartment start on the entrance hall. The blue bar is the invitation to visit the apartment and taste its many details, spread on the walls, floor and ceiling. Primary colors and lots of wood and concrete make an integrated space with hall, kitchen, TV and dining room. All furniture is of contemporary Brazilian design.
The privileged view of nature was the core starting point for this project on the mountainous region of Nova Lima, State of Minas Gerais/Brazil.
An adventurer couple chose us to create this special project in such an exclusive area.
At first, the site’s high declivity seemed to be a big challenge, but it was also what inspired us to come up with the implantation’s solution. Exploring its natural landscape and the Elephant’s Hill view, it was possible to set the social floor at the height limit, above the trees. The street facade turned out to be the side elevation and the main facade now faces towards the side boundary.

The Purpurina building was built in Vila Madalena, São Paulo, a bohemian neighborhood currently undergoing a process of intense transformation. Even though it is located in a street corner and has a great location in the neighborhood, the building’s plot is difficult to occupy due to its reduced dimensions. Betting on the plot’s potential, the owner asked for a flexible building, and after its completion, it was occupied by a fast casual hamburger restaurant and bar with a surf theme.
After a thorough study of the surroundings, it was established that the street corner, where the plot was completely walled off, would be free of any obstacles and open for pedestrians to traverse. To offset any prejudices to the constructive potential of the plot, the choice was made to make the levels above the ground floor cantilever over this open area. The steel structure became then an obvious choice, with the added benefits of being quickly built and having a memorable aesthetic result. Highlighting the structure and constructive methods, glass was chosen as the main material for the facades as well as precast concrete panels for the slabs.

The Dr Lund Residential Building is located in Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais, 40 km from Belo Horizonte. It is located on the corner between an avenue that is passage on the route between Belo Horizonte and the Serra do Cipó and a street that has only local traffic and is where you have your main access.
The building, constructed in concrete and masonry, was conceived as a horizontal object implanted longitudinally to the ground. It has seven floors and 95 meters in length. This strategy in the implantation and the horizontality of its form make its presence striking in the landscape.
