“Architecture that earns its place.”
Four residences across two continents. Each a response to its specific site, climate, and the particular way its inhabitants choose to live.
Three projects across three scales — from a 39-unit micro-housing tower in São Paulo to mixed-use urban infill in Los Angeles.
From master planning to urban design — addressing complex urban challenges involving infrastructure, housing, and public space.

“Architecture that earns its place. It is specific to its site, honest in its materials, and generous with light.”
From the mid-century home I grew up in, to the Brutalist places that intrigued my mind, Brazilian architecture showed me how rough materials, light, and proportion could combine to create unforgettable spaces. As I became an architect, I found the missing part of what I believe architecture is in West Coast mid-century architecture: a modernism grounded in organic principles, refined by Asian spatial sensibilities, and adapted to the laid-back life of the Pacific coast.
The fusion of these elements defines my architectural identity: spaces shaped through light, material, proportion, and a quiet respect for place.
