设计特色：

项目 - 在距离海滩仅300米的1260平方米平坦地块上，Vereda Arquitetos打造了这座与巴西"restinga"海岸生态系统和谐共存的当代住宅。这座630平方米的住宅采用纵向设计，最大限度地欣赏周围受保护区域的独特区域植物景观。

住宅被精心组织为三个独立的功能区块：社交区块将客厅、餐厅和厨房通过可伸缩的玻璃窗与户外完全融合，将空间转变为一览泳池和日光浴平台的大型阳台；主卧室区块包含一楼的主卧室和浴室，以及二楼的书房和工作室，分别拥有相对的景观视角；第三区块容纳其他卧室（包括业主女儿的房间）、客房和服务区域，同样分布在两层，拥有前后景观视野。

这三个区块通过中央循环轴连接，楼层呈半层错落状。这意味着从泳池层到下层或上层仅需半层楼梯。这种设计使下层卧室部分下沉，创造出与上层卧室相比更舒适多样的氛围，而中间层的社交区则提供扩展视野和便捷通道。

建筑采用石材、混凝土和木材的分层构造：基座由当地天然石材打造，形成日光浴平台、泳池、入口花园和卧室挡土墙；石材基座上建有钢筋混凝土结构，由六面长达3米高的混凝土墙界定功能区块，这些墙面延伸至室内空间之外，为各区域形成花园。20厘米厚的混凝土墙采用外露混凝土饰面，配以防水剂保护，支撑着上层楼板、立面花槽，并在中轴形成大型雨水收集槽；最后一层为由木材制成的屋顶和遮阳百叶，由混凝土结构支撑，瓦片屋顶的斜面将雨水引导至中央排水槽。

作为坐落在马塔德圣若昂海岸景观的当代贡献，这座海滨住宅展现了Vereda Arquitetos对环境敏感性与建筑创新的卓越平衡。

团队 -成立于2013年，Vereda Arquitetos专注于开发融合创新能力、建造可行性、可持续性和建筑卓越性的建筑项目，通过严谨细致的项目开发过程实现这一目标。工作室视建筑为一种能够促进知识进步的活动；认识到尽管当前城市规模和复杂性不断增长，建筑仍在城市生产中扮演着根本性角色，特别是通过其象征意义和理念构建。

Vereda Arquitetos总部位于圣保罗，涉足多个领域，从家具设计到大型建筑项目。其建筑师在大学中有着深厚的学术参与，他们将这种参与视为工作室知识生产的基础，也是为新一代建筑师培养和推动学科发展做出贡献的方式。通过其知识和建成项目的双重产出，Vereda致力于促进城市转型：使城市成为个人充分实现和表达最佳集体理想的场所。

工作室由创始合伙人João Paulo Meirelles de Faria领导，他于2002年毕业于圣保罗大学建筑与城市规划学院(FAU USP)，2012年获得哈佛设计研究生院硕士学位，目前在圣保罗大学攻读博士学位(2023-2026)。他曾在Escola da Cidade和圣犹达大学教授建筑与城市规划课程。团队中的建筑师Bruno Manso于2017年毕业于圣犹达大学(USJT)，2022年获得FAU USP硕士学位，自2015年起与Vereda合作，2022年成为合伙人。

这种学术与实践的结合为Vereda的工作创造了富有成效的张力，使每个项目成为知识探索的载体，同时保持建筑实用性。工作室的设计理念旨在通过细致的建筑干预，将城市转变为表达集体理想并促进个人成就的空间。

Project Name: House in Praia do Forte

Location: Praia do forte, Brazil

Feature:

Project - Vereda Arquitetos has completed the House in Praia do Forte, situated on a 1260 m² flat plot just 300 meters from the beach in Brazil's coastal 'restinga' ecosystem. This 630-square-meter residence employs a longitudinal design that maximizes views of the surrounding protected areas with their unique regional flora.

The house is meticulously organized into three independent program blocks: The social block integrates the living room, dining area, and kitchen with the outdoors through retractable glass windows, transforming the space into a large veranda overlooking the pool and solarium; the master bedroom block includes the master bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, with a study room and atelier on the upper floor, each offering opposing views; the third block accommodates additional bedrooms (for the owners' daughters), guest rooms, and service areas, organized over two levels with front and rear property views.

These three blocks are connected by a central circulation axis with levels offset by half-flights of stairs. This innovative arrangement means that from the pool level, only half a flight of stairs is needed to reach either the lower or upper levels. The design creates partially sunken lower-level bedrooms that offer a more comfortable and diverse ambiance compared to the upper-level accommodations, while the intermediate-level social block provides expanded views and convenient access.

The construction employs a layered material strategy: a base of local natural stone forms the solarium, pool, entrance gardens, and retaining walls; a reinforced concrete structure built upon this stone base consists of six 3-meter-high concrete walls that define the program blocks and extend beyond interior spaces to form gardens; these 20-centimeter-thick walls with exposed concrete finish support upper-floor slabs, facade planters, and a central rainwater collection gutter; the final layer comprises wooden roofs and shading louvers, with shingle roof planes directing rainwater to the central gutter.

As a contemporary contribution to the coastal landscape of Mata de São João, this beach house demonstrates Vereda Arquitetos' excellent balance of environmental sensitivity and architectural innovation.

Design Team - Founded in 2013, Vereda Arquitetos develops architectural projects that combine inventive capacity, constructive viability, sustainability, and architectural excellence through a rigorous and attentive project development process. The studio views architecture as an activity that can contribute to the advancement of knowledge; recognizing that despite the scale and complexity of our cities, architecture still plays a fundamental role in their production, especially through its symbolic role and the construction of ideas.

Vereda Arquitetos is based in São Paulo and undertakes projects across diverse fields, from furniture design to larger architectural projects. Its architects maintain strong academic engagement, understanding this participation as fundamental to the intellectual production of the studio and as a way to contribute to the formation of new architects and the advancement of the discipline. Through both intellectual and built project production, Vereda aims to contribute to the transformation of cities: to make them places of full personal realization and expression of our best collective ideals.

The studio is led by founding partner João Paulo Meirelles de Faria, who graduated from the University of São Paulo's Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism (FAU USP) in 2002, obtained a Master's degree from Harvard Graduate School of Design in 2012, and is currently pursuing doctoral studies at FAU USP (2023-2026). He has taught Architecture and Urbanism courses at Escola da Cidade and São Judas University. The team includes architect Bruno Manso, who graduated from São Judas Tadeu University (USJT) in 2017, earned a Master's degree from FAU USP in 2022, and has collaborated with Vereda since 2015, becoming an associate in 2022.

This integration of academia and practice creates a productive tension in Vereda's work, where each project becomes a vehicle for intellectual inquiry while remaining grounded in architectural pragmatism. The studio's design philosophy aims to transform cities into spaces that express collective ideals while fostering personal fulfillment through thoughtful architectural interventions.
