About me

At the age of 24, I am a Brazilian-Luxembourgish architect with an extensive international background, having acquired valuable experience in Brazil, The Netherlands, and France. My formative years unfolded in an international milieu, with my relocation from my home country at the age of 15 setting the stage for a global perspective. I hold a distinguished university degree in Architecture, Urbanism, and Build Environment from Delft University of Technology, an institution recognized as the second-best globally for architecture. This academic journey not only honed my skills in architectural design but also provided a robust foundation in construction engineering.

Complementing my academic endeavors, I have accumulated over two years of practical experience in a construction company, refining my expertise in this facet of the profession.

My professional repertoire extends across various domains, encompassing made-to-measure furniture, architecture, interior design, and construction engineering. Sustainability serves as a guiding principle in my architectural projects, a reflection of the substantial focus on this aspect in my academic pursuits. Fluent in Portuguese, English, and Dutch, with a proficient grasp of Spanish and an ongoing commitment to enhancing my proficiency in French, my multilingual capabilities facilitate seamless communication and collaboration in diverse and dynamic environments. This combination of academic knowledge, practical experience, and linguistic versatility underscores my commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions in the realm of architecture and design.

Architecture design: SC010 tetrix

Completed in January 2022, this project is centered around the design of a college dedicated to sports-related fields of study. The facility caters specifically to student-athletes, creating an environment where both academic pursuits and athletic training coexist. Recognizing the potential for stress in such a demanding lifestyle, the project was meticulously crafted to prioritize comfort during challenging moments. By providing a supportive and comfortable space, the aim is to enhance the overall well-being of the occupants, fostering not only physical health but also mental resilience. Situated in the vibrant Schiehaven area of Rotterdam, the building harmoniously integrates with the Maaskant, aligning with its height and incorporating key design elements, including view lines and the use of columns in the ground floor. Aptly named «Tetrix,» the project draws inspiration from the insertion of boxes into the building shape, defined by location view lines and the influence of the existing monumental Maaskant building. Executed with precision using Revit and Photoshop, this project represents a thoughtful blend of functionality, aesthetics, and consideration for the holistic well-being of its users.

Architecture design: the clustered box Completed in June 2020, the Clustered Box stands as a renovation project with a paramount focus on both social and aesthetic aspects. Central to its mission was the creation of apartments tailored for diverse target groups, fostering a shared and socially sustainable environment. Special attention was given to social and student housing, recognizing their unique needs and dynamics.

The project, rooted in the Mariahoeve area of The Hague, was built upon the foundations of two existing structures. In response to a growing demand, a strategic decision was made to introduce an additional new building, expanding the housing stock by 1.5. The overarching goal of enhancing social sustainability is evident in the project’s design, facilitating improved interaction among residents. The inclusion of a leisure area with a basketball court, green spaces adorned with seating, and underground parking for sustainability aligns with the project’s holistic approach.

Architecture design: roboat house

The Roboat House project, completed in June 2019, is an innovative endeavor featuring the design of an entirely new building. Conceived with the vision of hosting a dedicated deposit and shipyard for autonomous «roboats,» integral to a research project in Amsterdam, the structure finds its home in the Marineterrein area. Beyond serving as a shipyard, the project multifunctionally accommodates offices, a restaurant, and an exhibition space.

Central to the project’s essence is the emphasis on roboats, evident in the design’s focal point: expansive glass walls.

These transparent partitions, spanning both the exterior and interior, aim to showcase the roboats prominently, capturing the attention of visitors. The design intent was to create a visually engaging experience, allowing observers to witness the innovative research in action.

Inspired by industrial aesthetics and materials reminiscent of port areas, such as concrete and steel corten, were chosen as primary construction elements. Perforated façade panels were strategically incorporated on the office side to enhance concentration while maintaining a connection to the overall design theme.

Interior design: Dutch residence

In renewing the Dutch house’s interior, the project specifically targeted the living room and a transformed room, now serving as a closet. The clear goal was to cultivate a chic atmosphere, opting for a clean slate with neutral tones, minimalist furniture, and straightforward lines in both spaces.

The contrast comes in the form of lively decorations, injecting bursts of vibrant colors into the living room. Striking a balance between simplicity and personality, the result is an inviting home that effortlessly blends a clean aesthetic with personalized touches in these key areas.

Project made in October 2023.

Interior design: showroom

In the realm of made-to-measure design, ensuring an exceptional client experience requires a showroom that vividly showcases a variety of materials and design possibilities.

Thus, this interior project was centered around creating a modern space that is both clean and inviting, offering a distinct character that best reflects the company’s signature style. The design deliberately mirrors the stylistic essence of the company, ensuring that the showroom serves as an immersive representation of the diverse materials and design options available.

By seamlessly integrating a sleek modern aesthetic with a character that aligns with the company’s distinctive style, the project aimed to create an environment where clients could explore and envision personalized design solutions, fostering a heightened and tailored experience. Project made in January 2023.

Interior design: MLA

This interior design, conducted during an internship with the well-known Dutch architect Herman Hertzberger, was driven by a commitment to preserving the authentic character of the chapel. Notably highlighted in the creation of a staircase with grandstand functionality, the primary objective extended beyond the conservation of the original balcony. The project aimed to introduce diverse possibilities in the arrangement of these stairs while embracing the Montessori design concept.

The careful integration of adaptable staircase configurations, coupled with a commitment to Montessori principles, aimed to provide a dynamic and inclusive environment. This collaboration successfully harmonized historical preservation with modern educational ideals, ensuring that the space not only pays homage to its heritage but also facilitates interactive and exploratory experiences.

Project made in June 2021.
