DNA PARIS DESIGN AWARDS, France 
THE COBOGÓ HOUSE

Honorable Mention
in ARCHITECTURE / Housing, 2024

Rooted by the concept of biophilic design, in an extreme urban area and a sloped land, we created a unique configuration for this project. We developed a project for a house with two ground floors, which gives access to a greenish outside area evoking a sense of connection to the natural world. The two overlapping blocks, laid perpendicular to each other interact with nature, giving a sense of connection with the outside nature.

From the street, a 6m high wall made of hollow blocks can be seen, composed by the typical Brazilian COBOGÓs. After passing the entrance with COBOGÓs, the social hall is reached, a bamboo box that gives access to the bedrooms or a staircase that leads to the social area on the lower floor.

A'DESIGN AWARD & COMPETITION, Italy
ATHOS COFFEE-TABLE

A'DESIGN AWARD WINNER
in Furniture, Decorative Items and Homeware Design Category, 2014

Inspired by the mosaic panels created by the Brazilian modernist artist Athos Bulcao, this coffee-table with hidden drawers was designed with the purposes of bringing the beauty of his panels - and their bright colours and perfect shapes - into the inner space. The above inspiration was combined with a children's handcraft consisting in four matchboxes glued together to build a table for a doll house. Due to the mosaic, the table references a puzzle box. When closed, the drawers cannot be noticed.
