Do Patriarcado

Patriarcado, c. XVIII
Baroque ecclesiastical palace, João Frederico Ludovice

Patriarcado presents a rectangular floor plan, with a main façade distinguished by the erudite use of baroque architectural vocabulary, particularly evident in the axis defined by the main entrance. Inside, the atrium and the monumental staircase stand out as the primary spaces of the ensemble. The walls are clad in stone, interspersed with stucco moldings, white-painted stucco moldings with reliefs, and on the exterior, white and blue painted stucco with decorative reliefs.

Framed, past and present

A scenario resulting from a recovered and reinterpreted language. Vessel of historical, architectural, and emotional value. The juxtaposition of tangible and intangible elements that ultimately become part of a unified concept.

Appeal to the incorporation of various objects to establish relief and depth. Showcase the expressiveness of each element and its dialogue with the past, present, and future. Create illusions within the pictorial and constructive field, transporting the spectator to experience a new interpretation of space.

A box inside a room

The comprehension of the building’s heritage value leads us to apply principles of respectful and sensitive design to its legacy. The “box” concept protects the existing original elements, enhancing their presence and supporting their long-term preservation. A renewed beauty that coexists in harmony with the old.

Windows of light

Radiant spaces, subtle zones, and perceptive associations of matter reconciled through light.
