We choose few materials and use them for a long time. These three appear in most of our recent projects, each tested on site before it reaches a drawing.
01 / Pale Oak
Used for ceilings, slatted screens and built-in furniture. We specify certified timber with an oiled finish, so surfaces can be repaired locally instead of replaced. In Casa Horizonte it filters the afternoon sun along the garden facade.
02 / Travertine
A dense, porous stone that stays cool in the heat of central Brazil. We use it unfilled on floors and benches, where its texture improves grip and its colour hides the red dust of the dry season.
03 / Brushed Steel
Thin steel profiles for frames, handrails and joinery details. A brushed finish softens reflections and ages evenly, which lets us keep structural elements visible instead of covering them.
