Scene 01
Pub
Making time slow down: low light, wood and reclaimed brick for conversations that last two to five hours.
Scene 02
Green Roof
Turning the roof into a place to stay: the radial pergola casts shade and organizes decks and planters around the green.
Scene 03
Duo Bedroom
Two brothers, one room: joinery solves the space, and the wardrobe behind the door frees up room to study, play and store.
Scene 04
Apartments
Functional plans for different families: integrated living, kitchen and dining so every square meter serves life together.

Making of
From sketch to site
Five stages, each shown with a real piece from the projects. Four of them come from the Duo Bedroom, the one project already built.
-
Stage 01Pub · Floor plan — layout Survey
Measure on site and record what already exists: design starts from reality.
-
Stage 02Duo Bedroom · Beds and nightstands — exploded view Modeling
Study volumes, joinery and openings in the 3D model.
Tool: SketchUp
-
Stage 03Duo Bedroom · Design render Render
See the space before it exists and decide together with the client.
Tool: Enscape
-
Stage 04Duo Bedroom · Wardrobe, drawer unit and modules Documents
Detail with dimensions and specifications so the build leaves no doubt.
Tool: AutoCAD
-
Stage 05Duo Bedroom · As built Construction
Spreadsheets, schedules and follow-up through to handover.
Tool: Spreadsheets and schedules
On location
Two years on site
Before the architecture studio, a construction company: for two years I worked alongside the people who build.
That's where I learned that a good drawing is one the site can actually build. So I design with the builder in mind: checked measurements, resolved details and a schedule that works.

Four points
For an architecture made to be built
An idea of architecture fits in a short list, as Le Corbusier's five points showed. These are the four that guide my work.
-
Measure before drawing
Every project starts on site: measure, record what exists and understand how it's used before the first line.

Draw to build
A good drawing is one the site can build: dimensions, materials and joints resolved on paper, before construction.

Decide together
A render is a conversation. The people who will use the space see it, weigh in and decide before construction starts.

Materials that last
Wood, reclaimed brick, granite and greenery: honest materials, chosen to age well and last.

About Erick
“Every project starts as a line. My job is to see it built.”
I'm in the 10th semester of Architecture and Urban Planning at the Catholic University of Petrópolis, graduating in 2026, and I currently intern at Laura Varejão Arquitetura.
Before that, from 2024 to 2026, I interned at Construtora De Paula Hammes, a construction company. I work the way the building site taught me: measuring, modeling, detailing and following through.
