Design was my first college, later I graduated in architecture, I decided to do design because of my passion for creating, from a very early age.

When designing, I always try to develop something original and unique, I pay attention to the client's wishes and try to translate his dream into paper.

I always feel butterflies in my stomach when starting a new project, because it's a world of possibilities that opens up, I always learn a lot with each new project.

I am particularly interested in quality and not quantity, I dedicate myself personally with my team to each project, I always try to develop projects that, in addition to being beautiful, are functional and sustainable.

I believe that I have a beautiful path ahead of me, my future plans are to keep working, always offering the best of myself and dedicating myself every day to making cities more pleasant with my architecture, my dream is that all people in the world could have the chance to live in comfortable houses, with basic sanitation and protection.

Be creative, work hard!

I think what's important is that you do what you like, that way you'll go a long way.

I don't have a routine, my day to day varies a lot, I divide myself between projects, works, work trips, fairs, and it's always very busy and rewarding to work with what we love.

I travel a lot to keep up with trends, I'm always present at the main design fairs in the world.

I like innovation, creativity and quality, and for me good design comes down to that.

A project is never ready, lol... we always have something else to do, just like great works are always under construction.

Its RIVERSIDE 01.

I love Isay Weinfeld.

I'm Brazilian, I live in the south of the country, in the state of Santa Catarina, I have a beautiful family, I love what I do, architecture is something that excites me.

In my office we believe that quantity is not quality, we strive for few and good projects.

I would love to contribute to society through needy communities, providing decent housing for everyone.

It was very positive and enriching to participate in this award, it made me believe more in my potential.

The idea was to create a façade that spoke to the city and the nature of the place, that made this transition, something flexible and sustainable, that did not generate so much waste, a cleaner architecture, in every sense.

My main focus was to contribute positively to the city's urban landscape and to generate more comfort for the building's residents.

I hope to be able to contribute more and more to the development of facades that make cities more interesting and customers more satisfied.

One year.

I, together with the client, decided to bring a more innovative and sophisticated concept to the city of Itapema, a more current language, with lighter and more sustainable materials, a more organic design, different from what was being built here, the client gave me complete freedom.

In architecture it doesn't work like that, each project is unique.

On the trips I take around the world, I see a lot of new things, traveling inspires me a lot, when I return, I like to put into practice everything I've seen and learned.

Sure, many buildings around the world. I love the architects Arthur Casas and Isay Winfeld.

Construction Companies.

That. design differentiates by receiving special and differentiated treatment on its four facades.

Riverside 01, because its by a river.

Pencil and paper.

The design respects the curves of the river.

With My team.

Technology enters the materials and solutions used, such as ACM and also the green slabs.

We carried out field trips, to Milan, Sao Paulo and Curitiba, to analyze buildings and facades that most attracted us.

We had challenges regarding the architectural project, which came from another office, we had to readjust it so that the facade would be more interesting.

It was an old dream of mine, both to design a project of this size and to gain international recognition.

I greatly improved my project development and compatibility, as well as my creativity and research techniques.

No, thank you very much.

In 2010 I graduated from Interior Design.

In 2015 I graduated from Architecture.

I like to innovate and create new things.

I design houses, buildings, interiors.

Im not a design legend.

A great design is original and functional.

I evaluate the role creative process. A good design requires a lot of research.

Its timeless, lasts forever.

I would like to design inclusive cities, for everybody.

Hard Work and travels.

Learn, unlearn, relearn. Refine your look at things.

Yes, I do.

My friends and coworkers.

I feel grateful.

I was invited to an event, which I imagined would be the opening day of the Exhibition, but it was actually an invitation to show my own work, I was scared and I was flattered, the exhibition would open 3 months later.

I just love my creative days, to work with people with art...

Yessssss.

I've no idea.

I have so much faith.

Yes, I always wanted to be a designer, since I was little, I was always very visual, tidying the house was my favorite game, I always liked animals too, but I ended up opting for design, and later, architecture.

My office is 12 years old this year, as soon as I graduated in Interior Design, I opened my office and started studying Architecture. After that, I started working in both areas, also working on architectural and urban projects.

Design is a creative process that seeks the best solution for a project.

A good design meets people's needs, with functionality, affordable cost, good taste and financial and environmental sustainability, bringing more quality of life to people.

Design and innovation are almost always linked.

I like to Design facades of buildings, houses and interiors.

Its Riverside 01 Facade.

I love ACM, Natural Wood, Natural Rocks, solar energy...

When I travel to discover new cultures.

Its functionality.

I feel excited.

I feel very excited.

The energy and work you put into it.

Creative process and consistency.

Think about future generations while designing.

The future of design is sensorial, the fact is that we are visual beings and will always be, but as long as we add to our solutions different ways of exploring the potential of each of the senses, we will stay ahead in the race for differentiation in the saturated market, whatever the scenario is.

It was at Casacor SC, in 2019, it was a library called Books and Art. I would like to hold my next one at Casacor SP.

My design inspirations come from my travels, the courses I take, the fairs and exhibitions I attend, my inspiration comes from all over the world and its different cultures.

I don't have a defined style, my design is plural and it relates a lot to the phase I'm living during the development of each project.

I live in Brazil, on a small beach, in the south of the country, where there has been a lot of development in the field of civil construction. Being in Brazil contributes a lot to my projects, as it is a country with very creative minds and culturally rich.

My relationship with companies has always been very good, of mutual exchange and constant learning.

The company's proposal must match the designer's purposes.

My creative process is based on stepping out of the ordinary, out of the conventional.

My Hug, pieces of art, bathroom sink, bar, design armchair

I have no routine, my days are intense and creative.

Be original.

I love being a designer and architect.

Be original.

Creativity, curiosity and hard work.

Papper and pencil. Thirst things thirst.

I don't manage my time, I really like the concept of Slow Design, for that, I make sure to be always earlier with my projects so I can make time to really get in to it.

I don't design objects, I design buildings and interiors, its about three months to design that.

How can you do that?

To work with big Constructions Companies.

Constructions Companies.

Facade projects, because you can change all the style of the building, giving life to what is boring.

Keep learning and doing my best.

I do both.

I have many, but RIVERSIDE 01, is the one in my mind right now.
