Project • By Siqueira + Azul Arquitetura • Private Houses
Blue Star House
Immersed in the lush vegetation of Costa Verde, Blue Star House emerges as an extension of the landscape. Conceived from the idea of total integration with nature, the architecture is oriented toward the horizon, dissolving the boundaries between interior and exterior and creating generous shaded areas that define spaces of transition and permanence between inside and outside.
Large pivoting wooden doors open the interiors to views of the sea and mountains, allowing the house to transform according to the degree of openness while promoting cross ventilation. Natural light flows through the spaces, filtering through façade elements and openings of varied geometries. Throughout the day, shafts of light draw the interior between solids... More

Project • By Nildo José | NJ+ Arquitetos • Apartments
RD Apartment
In this 300m² apartment, home to a couple and their two dogs, the NJ+ created a cozy space filled with subtle details.

PE Apartment
Located in the heart of São Paulo, this 140m² apartment was designed for a couple with two dogs and a cat, and features a unique aspect: it’s located on the ground floor. For this project, the NJ+ team worked carefully to integrate the indoor and outdoor spaces, ensuring that the connection with the street was not excessive while preserving a true “home” feeling. Following a european minimalist and clean aesthetic, a light color palette, the choice of wood and the rustic touch of concrete beams as part of decor, give the space personality.

Sofá Caco
Caco Sofa
Exclusively designed by Kiko Salomão, the Caco sofa was born from the architect and designer's desire to create a piece with a unique design that evoked the home that shelters it. "As a minimalist reinterpretation of traditional barns, with Australian and Nordic influences, spacious areas, and the use of natural materials such as wood and handmade bricks," explains Kiko.
The robust and vigorous design is based on a structure composed of logs and exposed wood bark that makes each piece unique. "Just like trees, no piece is the same as another."
In contrast to the rusticity of the structure, the arms and backrest are supported byhandcrafted wooden rods, giving the furniture delicacy and sophistication. Conceived to... More
Project • By CODA Arquitetura • Offices
CoDA Headquarters
When the pandemic hit in 2020, our architectural practice was forced to rethink our logistics and work out of office. As time passed, we decided to leave our old physical space and work remotely with occasional meetings. That was until 2022, when fellow practices invited us to share a floor in a historical building in Brasília, where we’re based.
