Countryside Golf Club Residence
Architecture, Interior Design & Project Management
Itupeva, Brazil
Complete architectural and interior design of a 13,000 sq. ft. high-end countryside residence in one of the most prestigious golf club communities in the country, created for one of the finest families I’ve had the privilege to work with.
From the empty lot to client move-in, the project was fully managed, involving over 150 companies and 500 professionals. The design features 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, integrating refined aesthetics with comfort and function.
The structure features metal columns and beams, concrete slabs, and high-end finishes, with careful attention to acoustic performance, natural light control, and seamless indoor-outdoor connections. Generous openings frame views of the surrounding landscape while maintaining the family’s privacy and intimacy.
Luxury Apartment
Architecture, Interior Design & Project Management
São Paulo, Brazil
Complete architectural and interior design remodel of a 4,300 sq. ft. high-end apartment in an exclusive condominium, tailored for a refined couple who value comfort, elegance, and hosting.
The original layout was characterized by enclosed dark rooms, which led to the strategic demolition of interior walls to create a spacious, integrated living and dining area. The design focused on enhancing flow, openness, and emotional connection to the space.
The interiors feature ultra-luxury Italian furniture, custom wood paneling, and large-format Italian marble flooring, creating a sophisticated and timeless atmosphere.
Natural light and surrounding greenery fill the space during the day, while in the evening, a carefully designed linear lighting system highlights each zone with elegance and warmth.
From concept to completion, the project was personally managed, ensuring every detail aligned with the design intent and the client’s lifestyle.
Arts and Education Center
Architecture, Interior Design & Project Management
São Paulo, Brazil
Commissioned to transform a former multi-story retail building into a 26,000 sq. ft. Arts and Education Center, featuring a theater for 320 people and four classrooms, totaling 640 seats.
Managed the project from concept to completion, coordinating over 170 companies and 1,000 professionals.
The design aimed to establish a strong visual identity along a busy urban corridor, standing out in a crowded architectural environment while giving a clear sense of belonging and representation to the community the client serves.
A key design decision was to remove the deteriorated roofing and convert the area into a green rooftop for open-air events and to offer a rare elevated view of the city. This rooftop solution received spontaneous recognition in a major Brazilian cultural magazine, where the chief editor referenced the design alongside works by Artacho Jurado and Antoni Gaudí—an outstanding achievement that underscored the project’s architectural and cultural relevance.
To give the building a new identity, I designed a second-skin façade that also serves to control solar exposure and reduce vehicle noise in the classroom zones.
The theater was constructed adjacent to residential apartments, requiring precise acoustic design and execution to preserve comfort for the neighbors—successfully achieved.
The project also involved navigating complex city and fire department approvals, meeting all code requirements (including accessibility standards comparable to ADA in the U.S.), with features such as elevators, accessible restrooms, ramps, and adapted seating areas, ensuring full inclusion and compliance for cultural use.

Corporate office in Dubai
Architecture, Interior Design & Project Management
Dubai, UAE
This corporate office was designed for a residential automation company and serves both as a functional workspace and a fully immersive showroom. The interior simulates key areas of a high-end home, including a fully operational smart bathtub, to demonstrate integrated automation systems in a realistic environment.
Given that the building lacked the infrastructure to support residential installations, I led the technical planning and approval process to ensure the project's viability. This included managing all drainage and electrical system upgrades, addressing potential overload risks, and securing approvals from Dubai authorities for power increase, structural compliance, fire safety, accessibility, and city planning.
Close coordination with local contractors, primarily from English and Indian backgrounds, was essential throughout the process. My ability to bridge cultural and communication differences contributed significantly to the project's success, ensuring alignment across all phases of design and construction.
Institutional Headquarters
Architecture, Interior Design & Project Management
São Paulo, Brazil
Complete renovation of a 13,000 sq. ft. multi-story institutional facility, fully redesigned to enhance functionality, comfort, and aesthetics.
Walls were opened to bring in natural light, and acoustic finishes were applied to floors and ceilings to ensure a pleasant and comfortable environment. A new, energy-efficient air conditioning system was installed to improve performance and reduce operating costs.
Custom-designed furniture was created specifically for the client’s needs, including generous worktables to support the institution’s activities and service to its associates.

Family Office Headquarters
Interior Design & Project Management
São Paulo, Brazil
Interior design project for a corporate office managing the brand and assets of a prominent family. The overall design follows a minimalist and clean aesthetic, reinforcing clarity, focus, and discretion appropriate to the nature of the business.
Two key exceptions were made: the president’s and a director’s offices received distinctive, refined treatments, expressing their roles through elevated materials and personalized details while maintaining harmony with the overall concept.
Portofino – Yacht Interior Design
Interior Design
Brazil
Recognized at the A’ Design Award in Milan, together with the shipyard, for the interior design of the Portofino Fly, a flybridge yacht that combines elegance, efficiency, and innovation.
The project required a highly strategic approach to space. Every detail from wall niches to under-bed compartments and unused corners was thoughtfully designed to maximize utility while maintaining a sense of refinement.
The final result reflects a clean, sophisticated aesthetic tailored for serial production, delivering a high standard of luxury, practicality, and international appeal.
Multi-Story Residential and Commercial Projects
Multi-family Residential and Commercial Projects
Núcleo de Projetos, São Paulo, Brazil
Early in my career, I worked at an architectural office called Núcleo de Projetos, where I contributed to the development of several multi-story buildings, including both multi-family residential and commercial projects. My responsibilities included participation in schematic design, preparation of construction documents, and the coordination and technical integration required to ensure the projects were feasible and aligned with regulatory and structural demands.
This experience provided a strong foundation in vertical construction, project detailing, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Below, I showcase three representative projects from that period: two multi-family residential buildings and one commercial development.
Restaurant Boteco Santi
Architecture, Interior Design & Project Management
Curitiba, Brazil
Interior design for Boteco Santi, a contemporary bar and restaurant located in the Batel district of Curitiba, known for its vibrant nightlife and upscale atmosphere.
A native tree was strategically positioned above the entrance on the façade, highlighted by dramatic lighting to establish a strong visual identity for those passing along the avenue. Inside, two Jabuticabeira trees and a sculptural staircase define the ambiance, adding character and reinforcing the space's unique and welcoming atmosphere.
DUC NightClub
Architecture, Interior Design & Project Management
Curitiba, Brazil
Interior architecture and design for the DUC Club, an exclusive nightlife venue located on Avenida Batel, one of Curitiba’s most prestigious addresses.
The project transformed an existing building into a luxurious, high-energy nightclub, incorporating elements of classical French architecture referencing the monarchy era, reinterpreted with bold, powerful colors and dramatic lighting to create a unique, immersive atmosphere.
