Pilar Caballero — Tue, 10 Dec 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Located in Pedro do Rio, Petrópolis, this weekend home was designed to accommodate the entire family—an idyllic retreat for grandparents, grandchildren, and friends to gather and socialize.

iO Jaime Telles / OSPA Arquitetura e Urbanismo

Andreas Luco — Sat, 06 Jul 2024 09:00:00 +0000

In Porto Alegre, the iO Jaime Telles is a development composed of studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom apartments. The volumetry is staggered from the third floor, allowing a series of units to enjoy terraces. This strategy is chosen to offer various unit types and reduce the impact of the construction on its immediate surroundings.

Movince Corporate Solutions Office / Corteo Arquitetos + 6mm Arquitetura

Susanna Moreira — Sat, 13 Apr 2024 09:00:00 +0000

The storefront facade was designed to maximize interaction with the public, using large openings that not only illuminate the interior but also extend a visual invitation to passersby. Painted in a vibrant turquoise blue—the brand's signature color—the window frames stand out against the store's neutral base, drawing eyes and sparking curiosity.

Exhibition: “Ana Durães – Landscape Dialogues”

Rene Submissions — Tue, 07 Nov 2023 17:00:00 +0000

“Ana Durães – Landscape Dialogues”
Marking 40 years of her career, the artist presents new paintings and prints at the Casa de Petrópolis, in the Rio de Janeiro mountains, where she maintains her studio.
Those who know artist Ana Durães are aware that delicacy intrinsically governs her life and art, much like her connection to nature. This is palpable and pulsing in the exhibition “Ana Durães – Landscape Dialogues,” which opens to the public on November 11 at the legendary Casa de Petrópolis, curated by Monica Xexéo. The solo exhibition is presented by Galeria Patricia Costa, which represents the artist, and brings together works developed over the last three years.

Zigzag House / Architectare

Susanna Moreira — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Designed for a young couple with two children, the dream of building their first home, and a limited budget, this house was designed to be very simple and "cheap". To this end, a modulation was adopted that repeats throughout the construction, where the program can be well distributed and the work could be divided into stages, with the possibility of the garage and the last room being built later, if necessary.

IAC Residence / Francisco Hue Arquitetura

Valeria Silva — Wed, 19 Apr 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Located on the region of Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, the IAC residency is sited on a mountain plateau. Overlooking a valley, the setting sun and the Serra da Maria Comprida facing north. The house implantation and its space articulations were stablished with the intention of not intervening with the natural topography, to articulate the house within the site’s sunlight and landscape.

Baixo Shelter / gru.a

Andreas Luco — Sat, 07 Jan 2023 15:00:00 +0000

The “Abrigo Baixo” is part of 3 projected buildings on a site in the valley of the vines, region of Rio de Janeiro: “Pavilhão” (the first to be constructed, in 2016), “Abrigo Alto” and “Abrigo Baixo” planned in 2019 and finalized in 2022. Each of them has 30m2 of interior area and has a space reserved for sleep - closed off with a light curtain - a room connected to the front deck, a small kitchen, and a fully equipped bathroom.

Academia Shelter / gru.a

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 26 Dec 2022 03:00:00 +0000

Taking advantage of a pre-existing eucalyptus structure (which delimits a small soccer field) we designed a simple shelter in polycarbonate tile, bamboo and galvanized steel tubes.

FF House / Escala Arquitetura

Valeria Silva — Tue, 19 Apr 2022 09:00:00 +0000

A summer house in the mountains cannot be called as such if it does not provide the ideal retreat and integration with nature. Alongside this premise from the clients, the mission was to meet a few requirements through a complete renovation: 5 suites, a living room with a television and a wood-fired pizza oven, a large veranda serving as a second open living room, and a pool area with a barbecue and sauna.

Henrique Cunha House / Venta Arquitetos

Andreas Luco — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 09:00:00 +0000

Petrópolis is a mountain city nestled in valleys, surrounded by stretches of the Atlantic Forest, and characterized by a cold, humid climate. The plot, with a 52-foot (16-meter) frontage and a depth of over 1,300 feet (400 meters), features a steep slope. On the lower part of the lot, next to the street, there is no sunlight due to the impenetrable shadow cast by the trees of a large neighboring lot to the east.

Endless Horizon House / Siqueira + Azul Arquitetura

Susanna Moreira — Mon, 11 Oct 2021 14:00:00 +0000

The location of the land within a privileged landscape was the determining factor for the implementation of this project. The construction concept was to land over plateaus and develop over axes of paths which were determined by the project’s program. Divided into specific areas, the architecture scheme consisted of open and plentiful spaces, oriented to the amplest view. Characterized by spacious galleries, the main central axes are bathed with natural light and receives ventilation through the pivoting doors.

Mulungu House / Venta Arquitetos + Mariana Meneguetti

Valeria Silva — Sun, 25 Apr 2021 20:00:00 +0000

The house takes its name from the Mulungu tree (Erythrina Mulungu) that we found on the site.

Elevated House / Venta Arquitetos

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 19:00:00 +0000

This refuge is located on the same land as the Henrique Cunha house. To minimize the earthworks and avoid humidity from the soil, the shelter is raised over two T-shaped concrete structures on top of which lays a very light framework.

House in Araras / Andréa Chicharo Arquitetura

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 04 Oct 2020 09:00:00 +0000

Situated on a plateau on the plot and framed by two trees, this mountain house was designed by architect Andrea Chicharo to take full advantage of the spectacular mountain views. Whether from any of the five bedrooms or the entire social area, the landscape is always present, blending seamlessly with the architecture of the house, which was designed to integrate gently into its surroundings.

Iguaçu Building / Smart - Arquitetura para a vida contemporânea

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 24 Sep 2020 16:00:00 +0000

We wanted an architecture without superfluous, but that welcomed the essential with extreme sophistication. We found in art the ideal way to establish dialogue with the neighborhood and express our opinion. The artist Heloísa Crocco filled the concrete lines with her work of topomorphic alphabet, present in the brises and the first floor panel. Her language full of codes and symbolisms establishes a bridge between the ancestral and the contemporary. The result is a lively and dynamic façade, on the border between interior and exterior, and between architecture and art.

House in Vale das Videiras / Rodrigo Simão Arquitetura

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 14:00:00 +0000

A house idealized as a weekend house by nature for a writer and a plastic artist, with the possibility of becoming a permanent home. Also can accommodate well the adults son and daughter with children when the family gathers. Erected in a slightly undulated terrain, atypical for the region, with the generous area of 14.366,93m², with existing plateaus and a lake, the program included an arts studio for the owner, which was built over an existing concrete foundation measuring 30,00mx6,50m, reminiscences of an old barm, in the lower part of the lot.

Itaipava House / Débora Aguiar

Pilar Caballero — Sun, 14 Jun 2020 05:30:00 +0000

Built on a sloping lot high in the mountains, this house spans three levels that are spacious and abundant in natural light, such as the living room, which features a double-height ceiling of 23 feet (7 meters). Programmatically, the residence—constructed with raw wood—features eight bedrooms, a gym, and a small soccer field.

Writer's Retreat / Architectare

Cristian Aguilar — Sat, 16 May 2020 15:00:00 +0000

Built to be a writer's retreat in the middle of nature, the building was designed under the symbol of the cave. The symbolism of the cave is very broad and diverse. It suggests shelter, self-knowledge, return to basics, reflection, pregnancy, growth, freedom through thought, and many other meanings that can be found in ancient people´s mythologies and suggest the use of this building as much as a shelter as an ideas’ instigator.
