retreat project

Inside the Sir. Hillier Gardens in Southampton , the project was thought to be a physical connection between the human being and the nature during the process of creative arts.
same time, act like a material divisor of public and private open spaces, once encloses some areas and opens itself to the park in key points.
In a short visit to the place, the color of the autum in the landscape took the atention to the way that the natural changes creates ephemeral spaces that can be a retreat by itself. The scale of yellows, greens and red makes the landscape seems layered and, the diferent textures of the place seems like playing with the sensoriality of the space in a perfect balance where life is the focus, the center of all attention.
Consequence of this perception, the building was concepted based in the materiality of the place, and using layering as a mainly device: each building in the composition translate a relation between men and nature in the journey inside the slope from the nature outside to the intimacy of the creative process in a particular sense of belonging to the earth.
This perception of the space was requiring a composition that keeps emphasizing the life phenomena and, for this reason, the position of the buildings in the site was deined by an analysis of the trees composition in the landscape and, in a search for less impact as possible in the nature, the building was designed to prioritize the view to the trees and at the
As much the contact with the external space is prioritized more transparency and lightness in the building is required. Otherwise, if the space requires some privacity and enclosure, heaviest is the choice of materials and deeply the contact with the soil, the earth in a search for belonging and natural protection.
a.
Perspective of the semi public building with the auditorium and training rooms. As a semi - public building that regard less pivacity, this volum only touches the sloping site but is not fully buried on it. The auditorium has an strategical position taking advantage of the inclination in the site. Materials for this building are Mainly timber frame and a concrete structurre.
b.
As can be seem in the diagrams, a short analysis of the type of threes and position of them in the site puts in evidence a cluster, a natural composition that repeats in the site in two diferent levels. A decision to keep this threes and put them in evidence deined the angles used to design the buildings and the diferent between the levels of these clusters was used to rank the spaces based on the privacity and function of them.

environmental response: At the theatre, as the building is partialy buried in the sloping site, a simple strategy to let the light go inside was adopted: naturally, because of the inclination of the seatings, the roof of the building adopted a trapezoidal shape and the inclinated plan was used to distribute the light inside of the space. A light shelf was positionated at the top of the wall opposed to the stage. By this way, only indirected light can go inside of the area blocking any interrup- tion or problem of visualization for those that are presenting at the stage and also, for those that are watching any presentation.

GENERAL AXONOMETRY OF THE PROJECT EXPLAINING THE COMPOSITION AND CONCEPT OF THE BUILDING

4
The acess building (4) only touches the earth in one side and the materials for this space are mainly glass and concrete (materials that needs the human intervention to exist). The second building (3), with mixed use (public and private), touches the earth completely but still made by materials that can not exist naturally in the landscape. The third building (2), the auditorium, is partially buried in the sloping site as the presentations made do a connection between the intimacy of the process of creation and the surrounding space. The materials choosed are mainly timber and glass. The last building (1), where the bedrooms are, is a totally private building, where people are more connected with themselves in the process of arts composition. It is totally inside of the sloping site and the rooftop is a continuity of the landscape in a total sence of belongining to the earth.

a.
Perspective of access point of the building: a connection between the public building and the manufacturing building. In this image is possible to see the game between levels allowing the sea, the water, to get into the site as the sea rises its level. An ephemeral aspect that as the use of the site, that changed along the years from a war zone to a public space with a new use.
b.
Perspective of the manufacturing building. The angled roof allows the natural ilumination by reflection.
The site where the project is proposed was in the past a war zone with a solid wall built to protect the city and the Royal Navy from the enemy during the World War and creates a space to train new soldiers. As the place no longer sufer with the war, the project seeks for a recovering of the area without loose the history and the meaning of this place to the local population.
Still working with the duo past and present, the materiality of the new spaces plays a game between HEAVY & LIGHT with textures that remind us the original buildings made in timber and steel that once was at The Cambers but also, uses the transparency of glazed panels to allow the connection with the new skyline of the city and remind us that there is always a new life after war.
By this way, seeking for a connection between the present use and the past of the site , the project has as mainly devices the separation between PUBLIC & PRIVATE and the re-connection of these spaces through a ‘war wall’, a solid and heavy element in the site that deines a ROUTE throught the process of manufacturing a boat and get this new building connected with the historic morphology of the site.
Also, the position of the buildings in the site seeks the creation of public open areas inviting the population to take that place and occupy it, since it has an amazing view to the sea and the touristic point of the city: the spinnaker tower.

public school
A challenge to the project, the site in Brazil had a deep area in the center while its borders was in the same level as the streets and the surroundin, at the same time, this site was neighboor of the irst modernist house in Brazil, a project by Gregori Warchavchik all in concrete. In a decision to keep the memory of the site, all the school was planned as a modernist school, under the standards for public schools in Brazil, it is composed by two floating buildings, a free ground floor that allows the access to the sports area and recreational spaces. Connecting the buildings, a wooden roof allows the natural light entrance and make a contrast with the solid concrete structure.

public mediateque
29 /
The project of the Mediatheque reflects much of my vision to the world of architecture. I believe that the transformation of reality in architecture in the search for our dreams and ideals starts when we let the environment and the surrounding space influence our view of the world and, in this project, the perception of the world through the the books deined the principles of design.
The physical structure of a book has in its ‘central axis’ the distribution of forces that support the sheet. Adopting this idea, the design of the building proposes a review through this concept distributing the spaces from a single point to the mainly axes.
Using the topography of the site, the new levels in the project give to the floors and roofs the allusion of leaves of a book that overlapping, invite you to explore the sensorial spaces heightened by the game between the internal proportions: large spaces with low ceilings. Small spaces with high ceilings, protected by beams and pillars that questionate the reality or fantasy of what is happening in the structure.

stadium roof structure
The project of a stadium presented to me some challenges that in my professional practice at CDC Architects I could see in loco and understand better, but, at that moment, was really abstract and demanded some research not only about the functionality of the spaces, but also, about how too plan with large spans.
With this structural annalysis of possible roofs for large spans I started to look for metalic structures in arched solutions and tensionated cover materials.
33 /
This project was designed as a consequence of a deep structural annalysis of arched solutions, and, during this process, I had the opportunity to experiment structural calculus applied not only in the arched trusses but also, in all of the supports and cables of the structure, understanding the structure behavior and adapting my project to real physical conditions.

another projects RESIDENTIAL SET A residential set in the core of S達o Paulos, with a cross program that must meet the needs of contemporary urban living in a small space by creating devices for infrastructure and leisure. Regarding deployment, the site was in Sao Paulo and has a 20 meter height level separating an avenue of high flow of a street with local shops and have in the middle, a building of parking lots that due to its history importance could not be removed.
CAMBODIAN FUTURE HOUSE COMPETITION An international competition to design a sustainable house made with local materials to a Cambodian community. The project was developed in partnership with the architect Filipe Barcelos and was ranked between the 30 best projects among more than 30.000 submissions around the world.
INTERVENTION IN A LISTED - HISTORICAL BUILDING The project proposes the installation of a bar and beer production inside a building that unto 1960 was a textile industry in S達o Paulo - Brazil and now is empty . Due to this new function, structural and interior project was designed to keep the memory of the placebringing traditional elements to the design and recovering its value and give back life to a place in the city that needs new functions.

deca club: urban challenge
4th
Deca Club is a national contest focused in the design of toillets. This year they challenged architectural and design students to think about new urban equipments for the contemporary city of S達o Paulo. As the city receives a lot of tourists along the year and has a diversiied population, the project propose an equipment to be used and to be acessible for all citizen and also, interact with the surrounding space, ofering information and not only a toillet but a reference point for public healthy in the city. Also, the project was thought as an equipment able to be installed everywhere since it is made of a plastic structure in a concrete basis.
