House in Peruíbe, designed by Vereda Architects, begins with an existing house, very precarious from the point of view of its conservation. The way the house was built is quite simple in its final configuration – a single concrete slab with inverted beams and supported by pillars distant from the enclosures. The project’s distribution sets up a block for the rooms – taking advantage of existing masonry – and builds a new pavilion for social areas.
Vereda Architects develops architectural projects that combine inventive capacity, constructive feasibility, sustainability, and excellence through a rigorous and attentive process on the elaboration of its projects. The team sees architecture as an activity that can contribute to the advancement of knowledge; despite the scale and complexity of our cities, it still has a fundamental role in the production of these cities, mainly with its symbolic role and the construction of ideas.
The creek – lake house, designed by Openbox Architects and Openbox Group, is a weekend home with a clustered layout. A concept of separation has become a subtle technique that helped create the “weekend home effect.” The house was stretched into a composition of wall elements, creating a visual blockage between the arrival court and the lake. The timber pivot panel in the middle of the long, cold wall revealed the first glimpse of the lake.
Stilts House, designed by Natura Futura Arquitectura, re-appropriates the idea of traditional and flexible as a way of dwelling in the city. The architectural program of the project is suggested with the material, highlighted with different brick implementation logics to provide privacy and permeability. It is presented in an elevated horizontal plane; lightened by a system of teak pillars that supports the support of the walls and roof, leaving it bare on the volume of “private.”
Natura Futura Arquitectura is a practice that questions itself on sensitive issues of architecture and Latin American cities. An architectural exploration path that works in search of solutions through continuous experimentation and research. Intervening from a simple logic of incorporating a certain order in a continuous redefinition of the dimensions of the collective, of the actions that generate urbanity and of management as a production process towards the transfer of knowledge.”
Puerta de Hierro Renovation, designed by ALPHA, Arquitectura, Ingeniería y Servicios S.L., consists re-thinking the functioning of the House and adapting it to the 21st century.

Cora House, designed by Bloco Arquitectos, aims to function as a device to exacerbate the perception of its context – the modified topography and the local natural light conditions. The project creates a “promenade architecturale” that could reveal specific views towards its immediate surroundings. The solidity of the front facade is opposed to back facade, marked by big transparent openings and by the apparent fragility of the steel structure of the varandas.
BLOCO Architects produces projects of different scales and programs, from homes and buildings to interiors and temporary facilities.

VS House, designed by Saransh, is a family home with a very minimalist tone focusing on the nature of the materials used to finish the insides, which create the entire ambience.
