EVOLVED WITH MODERN SIMPLICITY

Lake View House: elegance at its best with a modern home interior. This interior design is a great example of “less is more” if you know how to organize your space. Simple yet beautiful art pieces, natural sunlight, as well as natural elements throughout come together to create this amazingly simple design.

“Upon completion, I now have in my living room the sofa of my dreams, with a mixtures of textures and colors and maximum use of the space. Our dining room can seat up to 24 people, an incredible and smart layout they came with where three identical tables can form a single table or when separated can function as individual tables to accommodate all the day-to-day life as well as dinner parties and get togethers. All of this in perfect harmony with the other spaces of the house and the seasons of the region where we live.” Testimonial written by Fabiola Masserant, owner of Lake View House.

A PROJECT WORTHY OF A MAGAZINE

White House: complete remodel following modern lines, clean design, and open spaces to receive family and friends. This midcentury house from the late 60’s transformed into a contemporary gem.

Step inside the 3, 176 square foot home and you’ll find a designer’s dream with features inspired by midcentury modern architecture. The house features a split-level floor plan with the main floor containing a nice little Florida room, reading room, and lounge with a wet bar that leads to a walk-out patio in the backyard. Oh yea, there’s also a pool and hot tub.

The den has a huge vaulted ceiling with wood beams spanning its length. The space is wide open–with the dining room just a single step up–and bay windows looking out to the front yard that emit ample natural light.

LARGE CORPORATION HEADQUATERS

Office Gafisa S/A. São Paulo – Brasil: The design of the new corporate headquarters of Gafisa consisted of two entire floors of approximately 25,000 square feet. The building has a privileged waterfront location inside a LEED Certified Green Building, of which I was also part of the main project. The main drivers for this office design were to create 500+ working stations, multiple meeting rooms and common areas for all employees. The goal was to provide a clean, open-space concept filled with natural light and elevated ceilings to complement Gafisa’s product style.

Visual clean – When entering the new environment, it is possible to see the youthful air of the interior architecture the builder profile required. Dynamism and transparency are perfect terms to summarize the space. Taking advantage of the entire building envelope being made of glass, the layout chosen was that of open space with the “mesons” arranged perpendicular to the windows.

The result of all these efforts: “Since April, when we changed, it is already clear that the work environment and performance of the people took an important leap. We have certainly achieved our goal”,celebrates the architect.
