Miolo

    The design approach focuses on the premise of minimal intervention while respecting a limited budget. A tiled wall creates a background for the restaurant’s activities. From this element, a graphic concept is developed, combining entire and ½ tiles – as the São Paulo’s iconic sidewalks. This pattern establishes the restaurant’s visual identity and communication, being repeated throughout the project.

   All the furniture was designed using materials and dimensions that are commonly used in industrial kitchens. With a compact interior, two linear stainless steel counters organize the space, accommodating storage, service, preparation and customer service functions.

   The exterior ½ square bench reinforces this dynamic of shared functions and spaces. The food and it’s preparation are celebrated, much like in family lunches – from where many of the restaurant’s recipes come from.

Apartment  33

    This project seeks the integration of the living spaces – living room and kitchen -, while maximizing natural light. To achieve this, some walls were removed, allowing the creation of a longitudinal stripe that reorganizes the spaces and redefines the internal circulation.

   Built with concrete blocks, the stripe functions as a wardrobe for the bedroom and a library for the living room in one side, and a storage for kitchen and studio – which can be converted into a second bed room-, on the other side. Additionally, new openings were created, connecting the internal spaces and providing new perspectives throughout the apartment.

House in Curitiba

in collaboration with gruposp arquitetos
     coordination Jefferson Carollo

    In this house all services are concentrated in a structural strip of 2.5 meters by 28 meters long. Being a solid volume directly connected to the ground, it was conceived as a concrete block structure. 

   All circulation is concentrated in this longitudinal axis. The served spaces are wooden structures attached to this longitudinal block: 3 aerial volumes that organize the bedrooms while keeping the ground level free for the social spaces and fully connected to the plot and its surrondings.

   The house is not concentrated but rather a set of volumes generously spread over the surface of the land: one line and three points.
