Unimed Federation / AT Arquitetura

Valeria Silva — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 15:00:00 +0000

The most sustainable building is the one that has already been built. The project for the new Unimed Federation headquarters in Porto Alegre stems from the need for adaptive reuse, expansion, and modernization of the former building. The proposal seeks to establish a new relationship with the already consolidated urban fabric, while, through the acquisition of three adjacent lots, the new complex is conceived as a delicate gesture of urban generosity: the new construction sets back from the street to create a public square, serving as a transition between city and building.

Casa da Beta / Atelier Aberto Arquitetura

Andreas Luco — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Navigating the inherent challenges of a narrow house nestled between other buildings – typical of urban plots with limited frontage and depth – we embraced the opportunity to transform its ground floor. The goal was to create a space that not only significantly elevates its habitability but also deeply reflects the vibrant essence of its owner, Beta. A woman full of life, a dedicated yoga practitioner, and someone who cherishes moments spent entertaining friends and family, Beta's dynamic emotional and cultural background became the guiding inspiration for this renovation. Infusing her personality into the very fabric of her home was a truly rewarding endeavor.

Andreas Luco — Thu, 25 Apr 2024 14:00:00 +0000

Located in one of the few exclusively residential neighborhoods in Porto Alegre, Casa Flor, designed by the Stemmer Rodrigues office, was built on a steeply sloping plot, facing a square of great emotional value for the clients, a young couple of university professors with two children, who were longtime residents of the area. The family participated in the reforestation of the square, so one of their main desires when buying the plot was for the house to make the best possible use of the view, while ensuring privacy from the street.

Restaurant Niko / URBANODE arquitetura

Susanna Moreira — Wed, 22 Nov 2023 14:00:00 +0000

Niko is a small Japanese restaurant, between tradition and the future. It was up to architecture to give materiality to this contradiction. On the one hand, it refers to street commerce, the lights, the signs, and the colors in contrast with the city's concrete. On the other hand, offering dynamics through technological possibilities, projecting what this business would be like in the encounter of different times.

Susanna Moreira — Wed, 15 Dec 2021 14:00:00 +0000

With about 400 m², the renovation carried out in this apartment located in Porto Alegre/RS - Brasil had to be strategic. Despite being large, the irregularity of the floor plan generates residual spaces worked by our project team to optimize the layout and circulations. The concrete beams diagonally crossed the rooms, for this reason, we tried to hide them with the plaster lining and we only left visible the solid slab in places that we consider appropriate for this gesture.

The project's program was simple: the main room (table, stretcher and small exercise area) and a waiting room. The client wanted the office to have good sound insulation, so we needed to have both rooms compartmentalized. We lengthened the waiting room from the entrance until we reached the limit for the forecast of a receptionist's table.
