Having lived in Brazil, Switzerland, and Spain, my view of architecture has been shaped by a rich tapestry of cultural experiences. These diverse environments have taught me to blend the warmth and fluidity of tropical design with the precision and clarity of swiss rigor. I see architecture as a dialogue between imagination and context—where the social and temporal layers of a place inform and inspire creative expression. It’s in this intersection that lies its true meaning to me.
