Community Center
APPLIED DESIGNS Architectural Project developed in the 5th semester of the Architecture and Urban Planning Program in group with Maria Fernanda Nogueira. The design idea was to create and harmonize four buildings [administrastive, cultural and social, sports, and service] without having them be a single building. So, we created a patio and the construction came around it. The red color was chosen to be an accent in each one of the buildings, what generated the identidy of our project.

The project was designed in a group with Maria Fernanda Nogueira in the 6th semester of the Architecture and Urban Planning Program. The project idea was to have a business building open for the public and that the connection between the inside and the outside is noticed at first glance. We also were looking for a simply and clean design but impactful. The main material used was concrete, glass, and aluminum, with a touch of the local coating: coconut ceramic tile. The elevations were designed in a regular horizontal rhythm between the concrete and the brise-soleil, having a vertical element in glass in each one of the elevations.

Alto do Jequiรก Hotel
APPLIED DESIGNS Architectural Project designed in a group with Maria Fernanda Nogueira and Camila Barros in the 9th semester of the Architecture and Urban Planning Program. The project idea was an adults-only hotel at the beach, 35 miles away from the capital of Alagoas. The land to develop the project was chosen by us and we picked the site because of the location: easy access from the highway, land higher than the sea line, and the stunning view of the meeting between the sea and the river.
Location
Site Plan The hotel includes: a service building, an administration building, a restaurant, a spa, and 11 bungalos. The project is separated in two parts: common area around the pool, and the bungalos torwards the end of the site. The access to each one of those is made half by car and half by walking, conserving the privacy and the contact with the nature.

Bungalo
The bungalos were designed to provide privacy, comfort and autonomy for the guests. Each one has a private pool that starts inside of the bungalo, under the stairs, and finishes outside; a jacuzzi on the second floor, and a small kitchen. The materials were chosen based on the local climate: wood and barrel clay tile to help with the ambiental comfort, glass to integrate the inside with what is around, and stone to bring the rustic for this architectural project.

Ămpeto Magazine
GRAPHIC DESIGN
The magazine is an annual publication organized by the Tutorial Education Program (PET/Arq) of the Architecture and Urban Planner Program of the Alagoas Federal University. The periodical is now in the fifth edition and includes informative articles to encourage critical thinking about Architecture and Urban Planning. The goal is to introduce a debate and brief overview of the current thinking on the subject. The third edition (2011) was coordinated by me. The graphic design, aside from the cover page, was developed in a group with myself, Jordana Teixeira and Diogenes Teixeira.
