The focus of the projects arises from a double commitment: the will to give a technical response to a specific context and the desire to seek beauty through the built work, pursuing the satisfaction of all those who actively participate in development, in special for users, but also for collaborators, builders and designers.
Values such as continuity -with the environment, of the spaces and over time-, innovation and the use of new materials and new technologies and precision are some of the keys of the work system. These values are complemented by dialogue, great attention to a wasteless economy and a team that produces an environment of shared creativity.

Values
Architecture can be small in the big or big in the small, if each commission is understood as an opportunity to materialize a good project. The project approach arises from a double commitment: the will to give a technical response to a specific context and the desire to seek beauty through the built work.
Team
Excellence in design is based on the integration of a network of professionals who agree on the pleasure of their work. A team that produces an environment of shared creativity capable of generating contagious motivation, taking care of what is in process and excited about what is to come.

New project in Brasilia
A very lightweight, curved roof with large overhangs rests on a stone base, creating fluid and open spaces on the ground floor, while a more traditional program is developed in the semi-basement, which receives light and ventilation through large front windows and a rear patio.
