Studio Pippa - Botanical. With 267 m², the project by award-winning architect Priscila Gabriel is based on the concept of reconnecting with nature and achieving balance in a post-pandemic scenario. The structure features wood, metal, solar screens, porcelain tiles and vegetation. The space uses mechanical cross-ventilation on the loose and suspended facades, allows rain to permeate the space through the roof that does not touch the walls, and solar screens for closing as a device for free ventilation and sun protection. Public seating designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha for SESC 24 de Maio makes up the space.(Haruo Mikami/)

16/37 - Orestes Blanco and Rosa Pereira - SEBRAE Space. The 70 m² space seeks, through sinuous forms, to break the concept of “cube house” by resuming the modern architecture of Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye and Oscar Niemeyer's Casa das Canoas. The space was designed by architects Orestes Blanco and Rosa Pereira, who are in their first edition, based on organic forms found in nature in contrast to the craftsmanship exhibited by SEBRAE artists in DF.

30/37 - Traama Arquitetura - Refúgio Ori. Architects Amanda Saback and Ana Luiza Veloso sought to understand their concepts and insert them into the context of the current world. Times in which the abundance of information exceeds our capacity to absorb it. The concept is to return to the origins, to the basics, to the essential, to the materials and forms that refute the disorder of everyday ideas with its profusion of colors and disconnected information. The organic, fluid and soft lines; and the subtly light, almost fleeting lines, embrace the monochromatic palette. (Haruo Mikami)
31/37 - Vivian Maia - Casa Das Bonecas. The 72 m² space brings back the traces of the Art Nouveau style, with brick-shaped coverings in earthy tones.

The highlights include the porcelain tiles installed on the floors and coverings, in cuts that provide multiple uses such as benches, planters, tables and countertops, and the exclusive and personalized lighting project. (Haruo Mikami)
37/37 - Deborah Pinheiro Arquitetura - Espaço DECA. The space created seeks to awaken the spirit lost after difficult times. The 144 m² space is inspired by the roof of the Itamaraty Palace, is contemporary and brings modernist references. It uses neutral colors, elegant lines, gardens and natural light.
