The most challenging lots are my best friends. In my view of the design craft, challenges naturally lead to solutions. The difficult topography of the terrain in Serra Negra, in Bezerros, Pernambuco, the giant boulder embedded in it, the trees that had to be preserved, the clearing where I could place the construction, and the best views all guided how the project should take shape.

Itaara da Serra Houses / Pablo Patriota Arquitetos Associados

The starting point for Itaara da Serra was a request from a friend to visit a piece of land in Serra Negra, a rural area of Bezerros - PE. The lot had been abandoned for years, with vegetation so high that it made inspection impossible. After a few weeks of cleaning - without deforestation - the architect and his visiting partner, Cléber, returned and found a large rock with an exceptional view facing south, from where one can see Bezerros, Sairé, and Gravatá.

Before reading this house, we recommend reading the "Roteiro para Construir no Nordeste" ("Guide to Build in the Northeast") (1976) by Armando de Holanda. “Let's start with ample shade, a protective shelter from the sun and rain”.

Copa House / Jirau Arquitetura

Casa Copa came from the crop of projects that were “born” and developed in Quarantine, during the Corona Virus Pandemic. The contact with customers was made by telephone. The meeting with the design and development team, and also the presentation of the draft, were made via zoom. Our team designed the house project and our construction company continued with the work. That was a difficult time with social distancing and with all the difficulties that came together.
