Located in the city of Ubatuba, about 230km from Sao Paulo, this summerhouse is on a steep slope and in the presence of dense Atlantic Forest, circumstances that led the project to a dialogue between the design and the exuberant nature of the surroundings.
The terrain imposed a structural challenge and the steep slope and the large number of rocks and native vegetation made access difficult and prevented the view of the sea.
The 1800m² countryhouse is located at Fazenda Boa Vista, in the municipality of Porto Feliz, São Paulo, and was built from scratch by the architect Felipe Caboclo. The Georgia Albuquerque Arquitetura office was contacted at the time when the client had the entire structure of the house built, the roof still needed to be finished and all the interior architecture and decoration of the house needed to be completed.
The residents of the 260m² apartment, located in Campo Belo, São Paulo, had already lived in the apartment for some time and adapted it to their needs, until they decided to leave it as they had always dreamed of! To make the dream of the couple with three children come true, the interior designer Daniela Berland Cianciaruso, who runs the office Estudio Glik de Interiores, revised and brought a contemporary, fluid concept with touches of color to the property, leaving the new layout functional and with a lot of personality.
The set of proposed interventions does not want to be highlighted. The general objective is not to impose the face of the new, but to reveal in a new way what is already there, through articulations, spatial dispositions and new paths that the interventions discreetly provide. The emphasis of the new elements does not reside in their appearance, but in their performance, in what they are capable of promoting, in their effectiveness in dynamizing and enhancing the virtues of the preexisting ones.

Based in Santa Catarina Building, on Paulista Avenue, in São Paulo, the architecture project of the new Schneider Pugliese office has its architecture by Starq Arquitetos. The project was developed for the floor where the law office was already based, but, after a consultancy with ST ARQ Associated Architects, the office ended up moving to where it’s based today, in the Santa Catarina Building.
Architects Amanda Castro and Giovana Giosa, from Studio AG, carried out a complete renovation of this 350m² duplex penthouse, located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.
The clients, a young couple from Rio de Janeiro, wanted to bring a bit of the Carioca soul to this apartment, something authentic and different from the wooden paneling throughout the apartment. To meet these expectations, translucent and rhythmic wood and glass surfaces were created, combined with white wall plans, without losing warmth and personality.
The concept of FBV WP house is based on a deep analysis of each one of the landscape elements as well as the owners’ lifestyle. The volumes’ composition has been elaborated in such a way that the residents’ gaze would be drawn into the plot’s interior, with the preserved wooded area – the project’s great actor – as background.
Located in Vila Olímpia, in São Paulo, the project was conceived for a single young man who wanted an apartment that reflected his cosmopolitan lifestyle. As he lived alone, one request was to modify the original apartment plan, integrating one of the three bedrooms with the living room and increasing the social area space to receive friends. In addition, the balcony was closed and integrated into the living room, creating an area of about 75m² that includes a dining room, living room, and gourmet kitchen with bar.
A country retreat. That was the dream of the young couple with children, when back in 2019 they hired us to design their country house interiors. Long-time clients of our firm, they expressed their desire for a cosy space, which could offer the same amenities they have in their home in the city, but providing other sensory and aesthetic experiences, with a more direct interaction with nature.
Due to the pandemic, this desire was strengthened and translated into the search for lightness and calmness in each one of the rooms. A neutral palette has then been adopted, dictating the décor of the entire residence. Avoiding any colourful element – in order not to compromise the peaceful aura that we intended to emphasize –, the design approach focused on exploring different forms, framings and plasticities, especially promoting the use of natural materials.
The dwellers asked to transform the standardized condo house into a comfortable and spirit family home. With the possibility to design the backyard and also the interior plan, the space integration was the main idea for this project. The couple, with their children, looking forward to better ambients who prioritized the wellness of a thruelly home.
