Urban, practical and contemporary are some of the qualities of this model-apartment that we’ve designed for Grupo Lar’s La Vida Residencial Building, in Alto da Boa Vista neighborhood in São Paulo.

The Portsea beach house is our design response to a wonderfully simple brief to create an elegant and practical family beach house. This beach house is located on a compact site in Portsea on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula. Our design celebrates the simplicity, clarity and natural beauty that emerges when form and function come together.

Background. A treatment and housing center for people suffering from dementia has opened in Bærum, Norway. An increasingly important issue with the predicted ageing population is to achieve a better and more efficient care system for elderly people with dementia. Inspired by the De Hogeweyk dementia village in the Netherlands, the 18.000 m2 pilot project addresses these issues and provides a foundation for future dementia care in Norway. 

The architect was inspired by a work of art to present the new post-pandemic home concept in a compact project inside a Container in São Paulo. ‘The new home’ is the theme of the Janelas CASACOR 2020 exhibition, an event that brings a reflection on innovations in architecture and décor of post-pandemic houses. Invited as part of the cast, the architect Ticiane Lima presents the Elo Studio. The environment is divided into kitchen, office, bathroom, bedroom and rooftop, and occupies a 15 m² showcase container. The space will be on display, through glass, between November 8 and December 8, at Praça Vinicius de Morais – Morumbi, in São Paulo.
