WINERY Bachelor Thesis Supervised by Alexandre Ruiz This Winery complex includes not only the production area of the wine, but also a hotel and a restaurant. The design concept was the construction of independent concrete walls within different angles that provoke different natural light and shadows effects and unique visuals to the site, enhancing even more the visitor’s tour around the winery. The materiality of this design proposal plays a great role on maintaining the ideal internal temperatures, for a good wine to be made.
SUSTAINABLE TOWNHOUSE Progetto Abitare Sociale Sostenibile Supervised by POLITO and Sunslice This project is a “vertical” house in Turin, Italy, a city with cold winters. Because of that the house’s shell was designed with thermal insulation materials, as well as a solar heating system and photo-voltaic plates. All of these elements were carefully designed to promote sustainability and energy economy. The spatial concept of this project is the vertical hierarchy between different spaces within the house around an internal patio. This patio, brings a good natural light for all the internal spaces.
HOUSE JC Private Comission Under Construction This project is a single family house in Curitiba, Brazil.

The house also has a cozy backyard with a swimming pool next to one of the famous and extinct trees in Brazil, the “Araucária”. The facade is a composition of 3 main elements, the living room, the vertical circulation and a box of the main room.
Minories Car Park Garages Supervised by Joris Fach This case study focus on redrawing an existing parking garage to explore their rigorous infrastructure, distill their qualities and shortcomings, negotiate standardized column grids and low ceilings, but also take advantage of multiple, above and below ground. Functionally speaking the project will deliberately misinterpret the word parking and imbue the design with the characteristics of public parks. Partly programmed and manicured, partly hard-wearing and uncontrolled nodes of the urban tapestry.
HAITI MUSIC CONTAINER Playground Supervised by Haiti Project In conjunction with the HaitiProject, the development of a playground in the backyard of an orphanage in Jacmel (South-Haiti), proposes a smart and fun design of an up cycled playground, connecting spaces and creating interaction between children. The design focuses also in the interaction with sounds, developing the senses of the children, not only the sight, but also the touch and hearing. The instruments were made of recycled materials, as cans, pipes and bamboo, attached to an existing container in the site.

GRID STUDY Parking Garage Supervised by Joris Fach This abstraction exercise was made to experiment the potentiality of a generic grid and how it can be modified, creating specificity. The idea is that the grids can be made up not only by lines, and points, but also as shapes, like a chess game, that when removed, can frame remaining spaces. However, these spaces may be used as communal connecting elements. The process is composed by steps, as move horizontals and verticals, overlaying, selection, explode, threedimensionalize, subtraction, scale and materialize.
OVERLAPPING REALITIES After Geometry VI Supervised by Attilio Terragni Located in Milan, Italy, this residential building is the result of 8 overlapping apartments, representing different families and realities. All of the floors have various shapes according to main guidelines that intersect the building. The project is framed by the existing Roman Columns from a Church in a ruin state, which creates a contrasting element between the historical and the contemporary architecture. But at the same time, the metal panels chosen for the facade, are made by corten steel, reminding the brick color.
FESSURE DI LUCE After Geometry VII Supervised by Attilio Terragni This multi-functional building, located in Milan, is based on the concept of lights fissures opening in a stone. These two fissures on the facade define the vertical circulations of the building and the two large entrances for it, and during the night, these fissures light up in the city. The building is divided by the vertical circulation core, separating the office part from the shopping mall. The linear oppenings in the facade bring natural light for the inside of the building, but at the same time, they offer privacy for it.
