The Ateliê House was designed to be an artistic refuge, an area of inspiration, contemplation and tranquility next to nature, placed on an irregular land of 382.56m², located in Arujá, metropolitan region of São Paulo.
With a simple and objective program where the client's main requirement was an unobstructed space so that he could run his easel freely and direct him to the chosen view in his moments of inspiration. The project with 382.00 m² of built area was divided into three levels:
A white box floating on concrete base. This sentence summarizes the proposed volumetric composition for the Lago Norte house project.
The central idea of the project is to highlight the upper part of the lower part of the residence, like two independent universes. The ground floor, with a more open and integrated character, has a little delimitation between the rooms, only demarcated by differences in height, from the central hall of the room, up to the contiguous rooms, kitchen, barbecue, balcony. The upper floor is configured “as an apartment inside the house”, in the couple's own words. A space developed for rest where privacy and silence are valued.
The client Rodrigo Arroyo knew the works of SP62 through São Paulo, where he lived for more than ten years. The client's preferred neighborhood is Pinheiros, and also the central region of São Paulo. As the conception was of an industrial and contemporary nature, we modernist precepts to achieve minimalism, having ceilings and structures apparent. Profiles and metals in matte black, with wood coverings rustic, plastic arts intervention, wood flooring and concrete for differentiation of environments and furniture based on leather, wood and metal, introducing the truth of materials. The green walls enter the context of embracing the large workbench with the main element of the room that is the only shelf designed for this client, based on Mondrian and in the concepts of the Bauhaus School of Mies Van der Rohe and Walter Gropius. The central chairs, brand Cremme, which centralize the room, were inspired by the Esther Rooftop restaurant by chef Olivier Anquier.

The Tatersal Amador Aguiar consists in a complex to support Valonia Farm, an estate dedicated to cattle auctions field, located in Lins, a city in the interior of São Paulo State – Brazil. Its program provides basic infrastructure to the livestock show and guest reception, creating exhibition and confraternization spaces.
The approach to the site suggests an effective rereading of corrals in farms, usually composed by gable roofs, setting a patio. Moreover, the program organization considers service flows, accessibility for the guests, besides taking into account the privileged perspectives to surrounding landscape.
Studio MEMM has recently completed the project for Espaço Poétika, an artistic production company specialized on theater plays, events, short and feature films in São Paulo, Brazil. Studio MEMM principal Marcelo Macedo says the premise of this project was the spatial versatility with predominance of wood and open ceiling elements.
The space was designed to allow theater productions and film productions to take place in its various stages, from the creative moment, through meetings with teams involved until the acting phase, when eadings occur and artists and directors can rehearse and feed the creative process at Poétika.
A shading plane over the water. The floating pavilion represents a building with no clear boundaries, without beginning or end, mimetized in the landscape, over the diffusive and reflexive territory of a water containment basin in a farm on the interior of São Paulo state – Brazil.
The existing deck and tile roof became small to serve the nautical and leisure activities by the dam, being needed an ampliation proposal. Therefore, a bigger thermoacoustic metal shingle roof was proposed, supported by a prefabricated laminated timber structure. In this technique, the main pieces are prepared in the factory and assembled at the site, providing quickness in the process, interlock precision and resistance. On both sides of the deck, mobile elements were proposed, composed by wood brises in a metallic frame, in order to block or not the windflow and sunlight along the day.
Placed on the edge of the dam, a reservoir for the extensive surrounding farmland, in a city in the interior of São Paulo State, the need for this program arises from the demand of basic infrastructure for those who enjoy the small beach formed by the lake. Therefore, its facilities include a changing room, with toilet and shower, besides a warehouse for nautical leisure equipment.
The main structure system is composed by three reinforced concrete pillars, which support a slab, also casted in concrete. In this way, the slab shape establishes the building perimeter. With no other walls, all partitions and closures are made by garapeira wooden boards, framed by metal structure and modulated at intervals of 20cm.
The main concept of this Project was to create a space that in terms of geometry is minimal and clean, transmitting the sensation of peace and relaxation to the visitor. That’s how Nohara(“field” in Japanese) Terrace was born, surrounded by the landscape design and mixing internal and external areas as one. As it is a 20sqm², this kind of construction would look even bigger this way. The wooden structure is made of pure Brazilian pinus, designed to be easly built or unbuilt at any place, minimizing material waste. The wall coverings and floor are made of concrete material, creating a pleasant contrast of warm and cold textures. The terrace is divided on three parts, the toilet area, a small waiting lounge and a counter for washing hands in the middle. This counter has also a fireplace to heat the ambience, as it is an open area and the Casacor exposition happens during winter season. This layout works well, as the project is located on the final part of the visiting circuit and people are always looking for a functional bathroom or a place to sit and rest for a while.
Otto Felix, an architect known for the singular and expressive lines that emerge from his sketches, is present at CASACOR São Paulo 2019, which this year takes as the theme ‘Planeta Casa’ in Jockey Club. In a unique way, the professional translated the concept of the event through an address of 250m² that breathes straight lines and mixes, harmonically, a rustic side with the epitome of the contemporaneity.
Casa das Sibipirunas, divided into a living room with fireplace, kitchen and a suite with closet, instigates a more reflective and disconnected dwelling, where the proposal for a simpler life was established as a reference. Proposing a contemporary architectural project that, in technical terms, can be considered light and ease to perform, the residence was based on three main elements: glass, plaster and Roman travertine.
The residence located in the Residencial Aldeia do Vale in Goiânia, had a centennial Ipê Ama-relo as the main element for the definition of the architectural party. In the longilineal terrain, of 25m of front by 100m of depth, the access to the house takes place by the catwalk that takes us to the main entrance. When you cross the portico, the house reveals itself without details: the whole social part integrates with the law-sure and emphasizes the amplitude and usability of the spaces. From the other side, the circulation leads to the rooms guaranteeing privacy to the intimate sector.
