I am a Brazilian-born architectural designer with a strong focus on hospitality and residential design. I see architecture as a means to create spaces that foster human interaction, culture, and community. Design serves as a tool to interpret the relationships between humans, animals, plants, and infrastructure, suggesting how these interactions can be harmonized to enhance shared environments.
My architectural thesis reimagined the typology of data centers to generate productive ecologies. Through cartographic analysis and cross-programming, I developed sustainable frameworks that merge technology with environmental sensitivity, underscoring my commitment to research-driven, innovative design.
With over three years of professional experience in New York City, I have contributed to a diverse range of residential, hospitality, and educational projects. A key component of my approach is the building envelope, which I view as an extension of the interior experience—mediating spatial atmosphere and acting as a threshold to the architectural narrative. My work combines creative envelope systems with thoughtful organizational strategies, ensuring seamless coordination of a project from concept to construction.
