 Ixi – Technical Handicrafts School
It’s an architectural future project developed for the developing Zango
centrality in the Luanda Province, which lacks this kind of service. The
design was based on the resources and the environment that the site
provides such as clay soil and 2 lakes. The recycling symbol was the
concept form since it’s a school that will teach about sustainable
development and recycling, becoming a “green building” icon not only
for the region but also for the country. The building grows from the
earth in an elliptical way, staying strongly connected to the ground and
under. The green roof reaches the ground level making it accessible to
grow crops and as a recreational space. The program include classes
on sewing, painting, drawing, pottery and weaving. It also provides a
parking space, a multi-sport court, composting area and a technical
area with the generator and biofilters. The project promotes the Cantee: Electrical floor plan
approach between communities, creativity and an alternative income,
reducing unemployment and poverty.

Unifamiliar T5 House
In this residencial project, the main objective is to build a one-story 5 bedroom house, having 356 m² construction area in Quibala-Cuanza-Sul Province, on a 1000 m² lot, because it’s in the owner’s culture to live more outside the house then inside.
The conception aimed to take advantage of the natural potentialities, emphasizing the functionality of the space in which the form will follow the function and a convenient harmony with its environment, so as not to de-characterize the area. The common spaces have been
designed to provide greater flexibility and adaptability in the future, seeking to create a harmonious set with some formal dynamics.
The complex is formed by a central building with common space open for greater circulation and connection between the internal spaces making distribution to the various housing compartments, namely kitchen, laundry, office and suites, all on a single raised ground floor with a
concrete base, masonry walls of concrete block and a roofing of Marseilles tiles. Materials used: Concrete:B25 In general Steels: A235NR In connections subject to welding A400NR In general

It’s na interior design project for a comercial space at the Shoprite shopping center, located in the Nova Vida Project, Luanda – Angola with a area of 114,60 m².
The design was based on eclipse because it’s for the two major competitive mobile brands in the telecommunication market in Angola, selling their products in the same store at the same time. That raised a big obstacle in the design, because i had to
make sure both designs were equaly attractive for their clients. And establish a common ground. I developed a custom screen to seperate the two brands and created different entrances for each. This way i manage to optimize the use of the space and its
functionality. The products are strategically layed out in order to persuade the clients to explore the whole store. A guide line on the floor painted in the brand’s color makes sure that happens. Materials used: white lacquered wood for the whole furniture,
painted in the each brand’s color, a plywood sheet for the screen and glass.
