The project is the result of an extensive process of experimentation. Many studies were discarded before concluding that the adopted solution offered the best relationship with the urban context in which it is inserted.

It is a residential apartment building located atop one of Curitiba’s most desirable and pleasant neighborhoods. The plot, a corner lot with an irregular shape, is the result of a street that cuts through the area’s orthogonal grid. A privileged location, with high visibility from various distances and angles.

It was decided that the typical floor plan would include three apartments—two with two bedrooms and one with three. The two-bedroom units are not identical. One, located opposite the corner and featuring one suite, receives the morning sun and enjoys views of the Serra do Mar mountain range. The other, with two suites, occupies the west-facing street façade, where adjustable brise-soleils were installed to maintain privacy and help control the intense afternoon sun.

The three-bedroom apartments occupy the corner. The living room is positioned at the edge of the tower, fully enclosed in glass, turning the city view into the backdrop of private life. Large horizontal overhangs along the entire edge give the façade a strong horizontal rhythm. These elements also create an intermediate space that enhances the connection between inside and outside, while preserving the apartments’ privacy and sense of comfort.

To make the building’s proportions more pleasing, a “separation” between the apartments was introduced, dividing the volume into two, as if two buildings were placed side by side. This also makes the building easier to read from the outside, clearly marking where one apartment ends and the next begins.

Everything—from site placement to the smallest finishing details—was thoroughly considered and designed. Materials such as concrete, gray tile, aluminum, glass, stone, and wood were carefully balanced to create a timeless architectural language.

The beauty of the building also lies in how it meets the ground, and in the relationship between the ground floor and the city. Generous planters, light fencing, round columns, and glass enclosures make the space more open and the building appear lighter. A delicate way of “landing” on that corner. It’s as if the building, with all its elegance, were politely asking permission to become part of its surroundings.
