AB COMPLEX | 2023

The AB Complex is a union of two towers, an administrative and a library, located in Roosevelt Plaza, in São Paulo downtown. This project aims to add new possibilities and resignify the uses of the space. The buildings are structured over a pre-existent grid of pilars and beams from the parking lot and the tunnel, both underneath the square. Additionaly, in order to preserve the safety, the edifice of the Metropolitan Civil Police was kept with a few modifications on its roof. The ground floor of the Complex was kept free allowing easy circulation.

SMALLNESS | 2023

Smallness is a project inspired by the book “Pet Architecture” by Atelier Bow-Wow that arose from observing the city by walking through the historic center of São Paulo ir order to identify and catalog small architecures of the daily life. Among them, seventeen were in the meanders of resilient spaces and became subjects of study. The categories became:

A - 0 people can ocupy the place; B - 1 person can ocupy the place; C - 2 people can ocupy the place; D - 3 people can ocupy the place.

Therefore, seeking to revive the 5th floor of the Triangle Building by Oscar Niemeyer, the project, inspired by the smallness found in the city, has small wooden modules measuring 1,1x1,1 meters, which, when organized together, can form various patterns and different spatialities. They are easy to assemble and dismantle. Moreover, they are internally versatile, the wall plates have slots for the formulation of different furniture arrangements, meeting any type of demand that may be required for the modules’ internal program.

3 KAMINOS | 2022

3 Kaminos is an ecopark located near the Feijão Stream in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, which aims to attract tourists, locals and researchers. It receives this name because there are 3 paths to walk around the area: one on the level of the stream (already cleaned), another 4.95 meter above, and the last one, 9.88 meters high. The project is divided into 3 sectors: an observation deck, a community center and a laboratory area.

The deck has a hexogonal shape and is 25 meters high. The community center is a T-shaped area with two floor connected by a staircase at the entrance and a elevator at the end. On the ground floor, there is space for commerce for micro-enterprises in order to strengthen and stimulate the local economy, a warehouse, an infirmary and an information center. Downstairs, there is a spacious cafeteria and changing rooms for the ecopark's employees. The laboratory area is located apart from the commercial sector, in a neighboring building, which also houses the administrative sector.

STOOLS | 2021

Stools is a project designed for dry plazas, such as the Arts Plaza in the historic center of São Paulo. All the parts are made of wood and have cut-outs for fitting in order to avoid screws.

There are four sizes for the plank:

I - 0.7 x 0.7m;

II - 0.6 x 0.6m;

III - 0.5 x 0.5m;

IV - 0.4 x 0.4m.

As they are easy to assemble, the stools can be build on the spot and according to each person's wishes.
