Grand Copacabana

The Grand Copacabana project was developed from the search for a dialogue between architecture and the city, focusing on the integration between the city and the user. The result was a mixed-use building in which the commercial part does not clearly distinguish between private and public areas, making the building an extension of the sidewalk. The ground floor seeks to be an extension of Avenida Benjamim Constant. The apartments, on the other hand, have large balconies that act as large frames for the outside, providing a privileged view of the city.

BaseCamp Lyngby

BaseCamp Lyngby is a student housing campus built on a relatively flat site within a green neighborhood in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark. The building rises gradually from ground level to a maximum height of six floors. A serpentine path runs along the full length of the roof, where gardens and small trees form a park-like landscape open to residents and visitors. The curved form wraps around several small courtyards, creating defined and intimate spaces where students can meet, read or relax. The green roof also buffers rainwater and reduces energy use.

The Linear

The project was inspired by the idea of Mediterranean scenery admiration towards olive grove, vineyards, blue sky and breezy south to west orientation.

A sliding sun blocking aluminium screen controls and protects the interior from direct sunlight. Double height living space with glazed bridges is the focal area of the house connecting all rooms and providing views in and out. The long design surrenders to nature and follows the land.
