The Aldeia house was inspired by the lifestyle of the residents, who just hang out in a bunch, with friends and family. Facing the lake, life takes place around the large central yard, as in a hollow.

The Pingo do Mula ranch rescues affective and constructive memories of Serra da Canastra. A very specific context place. Inspired by the best cheese in the world, obviously, but also by ox carts, farm smell and coffee plantations. Only good vibes!

Brasília suffers from severe drought most of the years. The Rain House struggles this by creating internal rains. The summer rains waters are collected and dripped into water mirrors. An island of moisture.

The Aerada house is in a boiling hot place. Its facades work like ceramic radiators, which on the one hand disperse heat and shade its interior, and on the other allow the breeze and light to enter. Something in between the open and the closed.
