The Moeda House project was designed to take full advantage of the potential of the landscape. Steep slopes, a privileged view of the mountains and a preserved forest surround the property, located in the countryside of the city of Moeda, in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Its isolated spot allows the interior spaces to integrate with the landscape, bringing the view into the house. The project makes the best of these conditions and proposes an open configuration of spaces, with little divisions between rooms and large glass panels on the facades. This house gives new light to the typology of the rural residences of Minas Gerais, with its typical wooden structures and ceramic roof by giving is transparency and lightness.
The corner plot defined the sectorization and volumetry of this project, thought to be an L-shaped plan where the social environments and even the rooms on the upper floor are facing the pool and garden, resulting in a visual and spatial integration, forming a fluid and continuous space.
The guests' desire was for a house with integrated spaces and quite large, with a generous leisure area, all facing the pool.
The chapel is built on the campus of ‘CIAAR: Center for Integration and Improvement of Aeronautics, where people from different university backgrounds train to serve as officers, working in their respective professions.
The urbanistic plan for the complex, and its 22 buildings, was done by João Diniz Arquitetura, and the chapel is there as one of the places that can be frequented by the neighboring communities.
This minimalist house has 182 m², on a site that measures 10 x 25 meters.
A clean architecture, without excesses, without details or superfluous coatings, following the precepts of minimalist design: less is more! Evidencing the purity of its volumes and straight lines.
The volumetry is imposing in the landscape,the volumes overlapping, are like two prisms, white and gray. The darker color on the bottom gives the feeling that the upper volume rests on the bottom, making the scenario lighter.
Rizoma is a brand whose goal is to produce food in large scale, using systems that regenerate the soil. They wanted to hire a young contemporary architecture office who shared values with the brand and had a design that reflected the company’s philosophy.
The choosing of Edifício Coruja was a first step in the right direction, for it has ample green area and a natural spontaneous integration between the indoors and outdoors. The building features ample windows that offer great visual contact with its surroundings. The interior design was born of an intention to enrich the existing architecture, such as its concrete slab.

The fashion industry is in perpetual transformation and throughout time, it has always kept a close dialog with the tendencies and behaviors of the consumer.
The concept for Mila store’s design is to bring a home to a commercial environment. We strived to work with natural elements that would bring comfort to the space, making the customer feel welcome through the use of affective memory thus making the experience of the purchase a pleasurable one. The idea is to bring stories, values and memories that would connect with anyone, with a careful and unique décor that would reveal itself in every minute detail.
The biggest mall administrator in Latin America, the BRMALLS Group is based in the Rio de Janeiro neighborhood Leblon, in which 124 employees work at, filling the 1019 m² floor. The project was based on values such as exchanging and learning and in the light atmosphere that celebrates the brazilian bossa nova.
The reception was inspired by the concierge of one of the group’s malls and its design incorporates the new company values. Shades of green and blue are a reference to the colors of the Leblon neighborhood beach and also, uses the brand’s blue tone. The metal structures form a large panel that organizes the guest and visitors flow in a soft and easy way.
The A House is a project of a single family residence with 495 sqm, located in a residential condominium in the city of Cabedelo, Paraíba, Brazil. The construction of this building was guided by a vast program of requirements for a small corner lot. In addition, the requirements of large backstops on the facades facing the streets and a terrain in a triangular-shaped format, comprised as main constraints to the use of the land area.
This house, located in Alvorada do Sul, in a site right next to the Paranapanema River was an amazing opportunity to explore the relation between built and natural environment. The design seeks to adapt to the geography, the lengthy shape of the site and to appreciate the beautiful view over the wetlands of the river, quite wooded in the section.
Being so, the design takes party of the topography to assume a role of a belvedere for this holiday house. The volume is then divided in two retangular blocks – private and social. The volumes are slightly miss-aligned, to create movement and independence.
This is a project filled with singularities. A project that is as much about what is built as it is about its communication.
In the interior of the Brazilian Northeast, it had to be particularly aware of the limited resources available locally (both in quantity and variety) but, fundamentally, its design and communication had to be adjusted to the characteristics of the local manpower.
Considering that perspectives are more effective in communicating architectural objects than plans we wondered -with some naive curiosity, good humor, but also a practical spirit- if a house construction could be explained with a universal IKEA-like communication strategy.
