Ibaté Building / Studio Arthur Casas

Susanna Moreira — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The Ibaté Building, designed by Studio Arthur Casas for the developer Cáucaso, is situated on a corner lot in the Vila Nova Conceição neighborhood of São Paulo – a transitional zone between the city's denser axis and a calm residential urban fabric. This urban condition was fundamental for the implantation decisions and for the relationship of the building with its surroundings, allowing the project to engage with both the vertical scale of the metropolis and the gentler flows of the neighborhood. The design approach, therefore, prioritizes spatial quality and integration with the urban environment, focusing on constructive clarity, conscious use of materiality, and the enhancement of common spaces.

JD House / Studio Arthur Casas

Andreas Luco — Sun, 22 Dec 2024 15:00:00 +0000

Overlooking the sea, a sand-colored volume mimetically accommodates itself amidst the lush green vegetation, in full integration with nature. Facing the Baleia beach, on São Paulo coast, JD House is the ideal spot for a family composed of a couple and their 4 adult sons to meet each other and rest. The clients, who are used to hosting friends and tend to visit the coast weekly, desired spacious and private environments -- although still connected to the natural surroundings. To achieve this, a large span in the living room was designed, with only one circular pillar at its end, supporting the entire slab and the external cover cantilever. The result brings a great visual permeability inside out: both beach and dense lateral landscaping seem to penetrate the residence, as interior and exterior are well connected. To solve this structural challenge, we designed a large inverted prestressed beam, which also serves as a guardrail for the upper floor suites.

Angra House / Arthur Casas

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 20 Dec 2024 14:00:00 +0000

By the sea, an architecture combining large openings, raw stones, and mashrabiyas interacts with the surrounding materials to establish full integration with the nature of Angra dos Reis, in Rio de Janeiro.

+55 Design Store / Studio Arthur Casas

Andreas Luco — Wed, 04 Sep 2024 14:00:00 +0000

The brazility, so determining for the identity of the brand +55design, also defined the architecture of the store, designed by Arthur Casas and his team. To solidify this intention, cobogós in the façade, monochromatic earthly and green tones, as well as lush greenery composed by native Brazilian species highlight its tropicality and make the store an exhibition space. Therefore, with a neutral and minimalistic scenario, the objects and products gain protagonism. “The project was thought searching for solutions to evidence the furniture, not the architecture”, explains Arthur. To achieve such results, lighting is a great ally – the amorphous opening between ground floor and mezzanine and the glass roofing allow for abundant natural lighting, which brightens spaces and highlights the furniture’s materiality.

Boa Vista House / Studio Arthur Casas

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 06:00:00 +0000

The design of this residence at Fazenda Boa Vista seeks to value the surroundings from within. The implantation of the house was a challenge due to the setback restrictions, which make it a narrow and long volume. The creation of interesting proportions, then, arises from volumes with sloping roofs, through differentiated and not perpendicular angles, which frame the landscape and environments in an innovative way.

Orla Apartment / Studio Arthur Casas

Andreas Luco — Sun, 01 Sep 2024 15:00:00 +0000

The design of this apartment facing Ipanema beach, in Rio de Janeiro, was designed for a couple with two young children, who wanted a space to accompany their daughters' growth and also environments with privacy for home office work. The highlight of the project is the panoramic view of the sights of Rio de Janeiro and the sea at Ipanema Beach. From dinner, it is possible to see Morro Dois Irmãos, and from the home theater, a part of Arpoador. The kitchen is integrated into the living and dining room and was designed using the same materiality to function as an extension of the social area.

Pacaembu House / Studio Arthur Casas

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 14:00:00 +0000

This house in the Pacaembu neighborhood, in São Paulo, Brazil, was designed for a couple, in order to be configured as a meeting space with family and friends, housing a complete leisure and well-being infrastructure.

Coudelaria / Studio Arthur Casas

Susanna Moreira — Sun, 12 Nov 2023 15:00:00 +0000

The two projects carried out by Studio had as their convergence the objective of corresponding to the magnitude of the space in which they are located and the elements that surround it. The first one to be carried out was the Pavilion with the leisure area, whose program presents a pool, barbecue area, gourmet kitchen, cellar, game area, spa, massage room, and gym; all these spaces are distributed in a functional way in an open and connected floor plan, ideal for holding meetings, attending to the client's briefing - who is always receiving friends and family for celebrations.

LAB House / Studio Arthur Casas

Valeria Silva — Mon, 06 Mar 2023 03:00:00 +0000

Conceived on a plot of land with a sea view in the middle of the Atlantic Forest, this residence was planned so that it would seem to glide over the vegetation, positioning itself as a wide observatory of the ocean. To execute this idea, metal fins covered in wood were used, 4 meters high and supported by an "L" shaped metal structure, fixed to the concrete beams on the façade.

BD House / Studio Arthur Casas

Susanna Moreira — Thu, 02 Mar 2023 15:00:00 +0000

The starting point of the project of this residence, in São Paulo, was the cobogó inserted in its facade and designed by Arthur Casas. The three-dimensional format of the covering preserves the view of the house's interior and provides privacy for the residents, a young couple with two small children. The rebar wall with a hanging garden on the side of the lot was designed to support the growth of vegetation, creating a pleasant green divider between the street and the house.

C House / Studio Arthur Casas

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 20 Jan 2022 16:00:00 +0000

C House is located in the central part of São Paulo, in one of the rare neighborhoods where it is forbidden to build high rises. The plot is narrow and deep, which renders the task of making a project with open-air spaces and gardens more difficult. Retreats are short and, in order to meet the client’s demands for a house where he could feel nature, we had to rethink the distribution of the program.

Brownstone House / Studio Arthur Casas

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 14:00:00 +0000

Brownstone is an architectural style present in New York. These buildings are known by being row and vertical houses with brownstone facades, placed in long and narrow grounds. The project consists on the refurbishment of one of these residences, and, at the same time, seeks to respect the historical character of this architecture and offers a practical, contemporary and technological solution for the sectorization of an extensive program distributed over its six floors.

Kosushi Miami Restaurant / Studio Arthur Casas

Pilar Caballero — Fri, 14 Aug 2020 03:00:00 +0000

Studio Arthur Casas always intends to create a new world within each project, considering users as the center of the experience. Unleash new perceptions, feelings and connections through materiality, lighting, color, and texture is the essence of our design. In our proposal for Kosushi Restaurant, located in Miami, these elements had a key role in the project's development, creating an atmosphere capable of offering to customers the complete experience of a Japanese vernacular architecture combined with contemporary references.

Icaro Jardins da Graciosa Building / Studio Arthur Casas

Pilar Caballero — Thu, 23 Jul 2020 17:00:00 +0000

A visit to the terrain was fundamental in the conceiving of this three-tower complex project - the first executed by the Studio in the city of Curitiba. With 21 apartments divided into the 3 buildings, the grounding principles were to make the most of natural lighting while also ensuring residents’ privacy: the design had to keep the towers from blocking each other’s light and avoid establishing visual contact between apartments.

NVD House / Studio Arthur Casas

Daniel Tapia — Sun, 12 Jan 2020 13:00:00 +0000

Placed in a land with a native forest surrounding it, the NVD house was designed in order to attend the wishes of a couple with three children: having a weekend residence for relaxing and leisure moments to the family. Located in the interior of São Paulo, the project consists on a dynamic mix of volumes, creating great spans and cantilevers. It is in these different volumes that the whole house’s program is distributed, taking advantage of the maximum integration between the ambiances and of the amplitude of the spaces. The lower volume, lined with rustic granite and wall texture, accommodates the service, the sauna, and the spa areas.

VN Ferreira Lobo Building / Studio Arthur Casas

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 29 Oct 2019 02:00:00 +0000

Located near the office towers of Faria Lima, this 16-storey building has a wide variety of typologies, with 88 units between 25 and 100 square meters. Unprecedented exercise for Studio Arthur Casas, the reduced size of the modules should incorporate values applied to office projects, such as fluidity between spaces and integration with the exterior.

Syshaus Residence / Studio Arthur Casas

Andreas Luco — Thu, 24 Oct 2019 17:00:00 +0000

With experienced professionals in industrial constructive systems and entirely dedicated to research in the residential segment for five years, the startup SysHaus finds the solution to ponder factors that within the conventional construction are excluding: fast construction, high technical and esthetic quality and maximum respect towards the environment. Therefore, the Syshaus house, with 200m², reveals a new concept for the contemporary living, in which efficiency, convenience and sustainability are not only ideals, but effective practices. The structural system is composed by unique types of pillars, beams, connections and bolts that, once combined, result in different plan designs and programs, within a three-story limit, for flat or slope terrains.

Jardim Guedala Building / Studio Arthur Casas

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 22 Oct 2019 14:00:00 +0000

The interplay of volumes and textures that shapes this building’s facade was the jumping-off point for the conception of the project, located in the Morumbi region of São Paulo. The central issue here was how to take advantage of the lateral view out over the wooded residential neighborhood – facing south – while ensuring radiant natural lighting.
