While at B.CO Arquitetura, I contributed to the design of a private residence located in Urca, one of Rio de Janeiro’s most iconic and historically significant neighborhoods. The project involved the renovation and adaptation of a heritage-listed house, which required careful coordination with local preservation guidelines and strict compliance with historical conservation codes.

I was responsible for creating detailed 3D models that supported both internal design development and client presentations. These visualizations helped clarify proposed interventions and assess how contemporary elements could be integrated without compromising the original character of the property.


Key contributions & results:


  • - Modeled the full architectural layout of a heritage-listed residence, supporting design studies and regulatory review
  • - Produced visualizations that helped the team navigate constraints related to preservation codes and aesthetic continuity
  • - Contributed to iterative design revisions in response to historical preservation board feedback
  • - Enabled more efficient client communication through detailed and accurate 3D representations
  • - Helped identify potential clashes between proposed design elements and existing heritage features early in the process

Main tools: AutoCAD, Blender 3D
