At one of São Paulo’s most prominent urban intersections, where Avenida Brigadeiro Faria Lima meets the more intimate, pedestrian scale of Rua Jeronimo da Veiga, Jeronimo Faria Lima seeks to engage with the city beyond its height, form and presence. Designed by Perkins&Will for Bolsa de Imóveis and Lucio Properties, the project places the relationship between architecture and the public realm at the centre of its design.

LOC Country House, São Roque
Architectural Design: Dado Castello Branco Arquitetura
LOC Country House, São Roque home, SP
photo : Marco Antonio
The silhouette recalls the archetype of a rural barn through pitched roofs and clearly defined gabled volumes, but its material expression deliberately avoids nostalgic interpretations of countryside architecture. While traditional Brazilian farmhouses are often characterised by plastered walls and clay-tiled roofs, LOC Country House adopts a more contemporary palette of natural stone, timber and black metal profiles, complemented by a roof finished in black automotive-painted metal.

Dr. Leite Lopes State Airport, Ribeirão Preto
Architects: Bacco Arquitetos Associados

A central challenge was to expand and reorganise the passenger terminal while maintaining uninterrupted airport operations. To minimise disruption and accelerate construction, the architects adopted prefabricated building systems, with glued laminated timber (glulam) becoming a defining feature of the new roof structure. The approach combines construction efficiency with a strong architectural expression, giving the expanded terminal a clear structural identity while responding to the practical demands of a live transport environment.

LWF residence, Iporanga Condominium, North Coast
Architectural Design: Patricia Martinez Arquitetura

From the outset, the project was conceived as a secluded refuge within Brazil’s Atlantic Forest, overlooking São Pedro Beach in the Iporanga Condominium on São Paulo’s north coast.

Ibira Work Office Building
Architects: FGMF
Ibira Work Office Building São Paulo Brazil
photo : Fran Parente
Located just a short walk from São Paulo’s renowned Ibirapuera Park, Ibira Work transforms its proximity to one of the city’s most significant public landscapes into a defining architectural asset. Designed by FGMF and completed in 2024, the building extends the park’s qualities into the workplace, dissolving conventional boundaries between interior and exterior. Rather than treating nature as a backdrop, the project integrates greenery, fresh air, and outdoor occupation into everyday working life.

Casa Iporanga, Guaruja, São Paulo State
Architect: Nati Minas & Studio7

More than a renovation, Casa Iporanga reinterprets the existing residence through a series of carefully considered architectural interventions that reflect the clients’ way of life. Respecting the integrity of the original structure, the project reorganises the home to support everyday living while prioritising clarity, functionality, and spatial efficiency. Free from unnecessary gestures, the design creates a calm and understated living environment that remains closely connected to its natural surroundings.

Nitsche Arquitetos has completed the retrofit of Pinheiros and Faria Lima stations on São Paulo’s Line 4–Yellow, one of Latin America’s busiest metro corridors. Rather than replacing the existing architecture, the project adopts a strategy of precise, minimal intervention that enhances the passenger experience while preserving the stations’ original brutalist identity.

Address Jardins, José Maria Lisboa Street and Pamplona Street
Architectural Design: aflalo/gasperini arquitetos
Address Jardins São Paulo building
photo : Giulia Gomes
The façade of Address Jardins is defined by the fluid, sinuous geometry of its balconies, creating an architectural language that resonates with the tree-lined character of the surrounding urban landscape. Through this interplay of form and context, the building establishes a strong visual identity while maintaining a sensitive relationship with the neighborhood’s scale and atmosphere.

ON Melo Alves, Avenida Rebouças
Architectural Design: FGMF
ON Melo Alves Sao Paulo building
photo : Fran Parente
With its exposed concrete structure, cantilevered volumes, and permeable ground floor, the development reimagines the relationship between architecture and the city along one of São Paulo’s most vibrant urban corridors. Drawing from the city’s tradition of expressing structure as architecture, the project responds to São Paulo’s metropolitan character while establishing itself as a contemporary architectural landmark.

12 May 2026
Dynamic Pinheiros Building, Padre Carvalho Street
Architectural Design: Königsberger Vannucchi Arquitetos Associados

With six floors and a street-aligned footprint, the building establishes a strong urban presence while mediating the scale of its immediate surroundings. Its volumetric composition helps define and enhance the public realm, contributing to a more coherent and balanced reading of the urban fabric.

Downtown Nova República Building, Praça da República, 365
Architectural Design: Jonas Birger Arquitetos
Downtown Nova República Building Sao Paulo Brazil
photo : Paulo Brenta
Designing in the historic heart of São Paulo requires more than simply meeting functional demands; it calls for a deep sensitivity to both time and place. In the Downtown Nova República project, the Brazilian architecture firm Jonas Birger Arquitetos embraced this challenge by developing one of the last available plots in Praça da República, a district celebrated for its architectural and cultural wealth.
Rather than imposing a singular contemporary gesture, the project negotiates with its surroundings—balancing preservation and innovation. The design responds to the layered urban fabric through careful massing, material selection, and scale, ensuring continuity with neighboring historic buildings while still asserting a distinctly modern identity.

Portinari´s famous work – ‘War and Peace’, a gift to United Nations – will have a permanent release in the major University of Brazil, Universidade de São Paulo (USP).

Brazil will receive a reinterpretation of “War and Peace”, a gift from Brazil to United Nations in NY; Candido Portinari is one of the main Brazilian artists.

Led by the Portuguese Isabel Ruas and Gonçalo Ruas, architects Oficina de Mosaicos – a Brazilian reference for the creation, development and execution of mosaics and based in Brazil since 36 years ago – will create a re-reading of the panels ‘War and Peace’ in mosaic, to be exposed permanently at University of São Paulo (USP).

‘War and Peace’ by Candido Portinari for Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Brazil:

The initiative seeks to value Brazilian culture by bringing art to public spaces. The project is supported by Portinari’s son, João Portinari, and is in the fundraising stage.

The architect, Isabel Ruas, at the head of this project, reinforces that the re-reading is something very important for the culture of the country, mainly for its educational character. “We want to take schools, children and everyone to know this Portinari work,” she says.

With two panels of 45 meters high and 33 meters long each, the original version is at the headquarters of the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York (USA). The painting was created at the request of the Brazilian government in 1952 and was given as a gift to the UN in 1956. The two panels meet separately – the ‘Guerra’ panel is at the entrance, while the panel depicting ‘Peace’ lies at the exit.

image from architects

There-reading will be the same size as the original version. “It’s not a copy, because Portinari’s brushstroke will not be there. It will be the representation of the mosaic brushwork and will have its own shape”, explains Isabel.

To do this work, a foreseen expense of 3 million reais will be expected. The project will be executed via Rouanet Law and is in the fundraising stage. So far, some institutions have committed to investing, although they have not yet revealed the values. The process should last until September 2019. Among the works already done by Mosaic Workshop is the restoration of a mosaic by the artist Di Cavalcanti installed at the Teatro Cultura Artística, in the center of São Paulo.

For fund-raising, Oficina de Mosaico is receiving an e-mail via oficinademosaicos(at)oficinademosaicos.com.br.
