House with 3767 ft² on a flat trapezoidal ground (39,37 ft facing a green square, 22,31ft on the back and approximately 123 ft on both lateral limits), deployed along the two sides. The front façade is oriented to the north overlooking a square with trees.
Urban house (281 m² / 3 023 ft ²) in an upward sloping ground, narrow (9,00 m/ 32,47 ft) and long (50,00 m/164 ft).
On the ground floor, one meter (3,23 ft) higher than the street, there’s an access, garage, studio and working areas. On this level , there’s also a little pool filled with carps, from which a flight of stairs in reinforced concrete emerges, leading to the upper level, with all the house accommodations: access gallery, rooms, kitchen, verandas, office, 3 bedrooms and bathrooms. The office and the third bedroom open to the upper garden at the end of the ground.
There’s a solarium over the living room and kitchen, with a lawn and a wooden deck, reached by the continuation of the stairs.
The main building, a two floor pentagon plan pavilion (258,80 m²/2 784 ft²), is almost entirely surrounded by the sea.The plan allows disposing 4 bedrooms upstairs opened as verandas to the sea landscape. The fifth vertex is an open space two stories high. The entire ground floor is also designed as a veranda with sliding glass doors.
These are the basic ideas that guided the project for this specific Aesop Store:
To preserve the visual impact of the flow of people on the main street, without too much emphasis on the street corner where the shop is located. The entrance of the store will be in the street façade. The address must clearly be Rua Oscar Freire, one of the most important retail streets in São Paulo.

The main intention for the design of Nestle´s factory visiting areas was to create a landmark in the generic landscape of the highway that connects São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, revealing the existence of a public and accessible space. This visibility is achieved by the installation of two steel framed glass towers, which are connected to foot bridges that roads and wraps the existing building, granting access to the elevated walkway inside the factory. In this manner, visitors and service traffic are kept apart from each other. The structural geometry and the materials used were designed to trigger a sensorial and perceptive experience and to contribute for a clearer comprehension of the history and production of chocolates throughout visitation.

The globalized world suffers from a growing demand for compact habitation. The project Oca Residencial Maracatins is a direct answer to this demand granting the same space quality as larger spaces.
This residential project inserted in the neighbourhood of Itaim Bibi, south of São Paulo, explored its best qualities to provide a respectful relationship with the surroundings. The basement proportion is designed as a volume that dialogues with the street scale. The distance between the building and the street allows a better landscape perception, including the open front garden that welcomes inhabitants and visitors.
Itaim from tupi-guarani means stone, pedra in portuguese. This was the chosen element to present a bold architectural concept opposed to the mainstream concrete urban landscape of São Paulo. PedraFaria Lima Building brings the roughness of natural elements while dialogues with the first human habitation units.
