I have a degree in Architecture and Urbanism, and my journey has always been driven by creativity and a passion for transforming spaces. Since I was a child, I loved drawing and imagining how environments could be improved, so becoming a designer felt natural.
My studio, Torres Arquitetos, specializes in high-standard residential and commercial projects. We aim to combine creativity, modernity, and functionality, delivering unique spaces tailored to our clients’ visions.
Design is a bridge between aesthetics, functionality, and human experience. It’s about creating purposeful solutions that improve people’s lives and connect them emotionally to spaces.
I enjoy designing spaces that combine elegance and practicality, especially residential projects where I can deeply connect with the clients’ needs and transform their daily lives.
The field is embracing sustainability, technology, and personalization. The future lies in integrating smart solutions with environmentally conscious designs.
I live in Porto Alegre, Brazil. The rich cultural heritage influences my designs through the use of natural materials and appreciation for local craftsmanship. The main challenge is balancing creativity with budget constraints.
My process begins with understanding the client’s needs, researching the site, and brainstorming concepts. From there, I move to sketches, 3D modeling, and detailed project development.
My day starts early with coffee and planning. I spend mornings designing and attending meetings, afternoons visiting project sites, and evenings reflecting on concepts or sketching ideas.
Torres Arquitetos is a company dedicated to the development of architectural and urban projects, owned by architect Alberto Torres, who graduated from UFRGS in 1991, and architect Carolina Torres, who graduated from PUCRS in 2021. We have always been interested in projects that combine creativity and functionality. During college, Carolina dedicated herself to exploring both architectural design and the relationship between spaces and people in the communities of indigenous Brazilian peoples.
The power to transform spaces and create unique experiences motivates me daily. I became a designer because I have always been fascinated by how the environment around us shapes our emotions, behaviors and memories.
We design high-end homes, commercial spaces and houses. I want to delve deeper into projects that integrate sustainability, technology and innovation, such as green buildings, public spaces and urban solutions that promote well-being.
A good designer creates something that is both functional and beautiful; a great designer goes beyond that, bringing innovation, authenticity and emotional impact. This is someone who deeply understands the context and transforms needs into extraordinary solutions.
Good design is one that balances functionality, aesthetics, and purpose. It should meet the user’s needs, create an emotional connection, and at the same time stand the test of time. I judge good design by its ability to improve people’s lives and integrate into its context in a unique and efficient way.
Good design adds value to everyday life, improves the user experience and increases the perception of quality. It has the power to transform a space, creating identity and authenticity. Investing in good design means investing in durability, innovation and solutions that transcend the ordinary.
Eu adoraria projetar espaços urbanos inclusivos e sustentáveis para comunidades que carecem de infraestrutura de qualidade. Esses projetos têm um impacto social significativo e redefinem como as pessoas se conectam com os espaços ao seu redor.
Listening is my secret ingredient. Deeply understanding the needs of clients and respecting the history of the place are key to creating authentic designs.
My best design is always the next one. Each project reflects evolution and innovation, but I like to highlight the Le Dune residential project that we designed, for the way it integrated natural light, minimalism and comfort, and fit into the surroundings.
Constantly studying, traveling to expose myself to different cultures and collaborating with other professionals. I seek to learn something new in each project.
