Designed by MDAD Arquitetura e Design<\/a>, led by architect Matheus Diniz, with interiors by TODOS Arquitetura<\/a>, Casa Una spans 1,060 square meters. The project emphasizes flexibility, sustainability, and strong integration with its surrounding environment. Its architecture is defined by a striking curved glulam (glued laminated timber) roof that extends beyond the building to create shaded, semi-open zones that transition between indoor and outdoor spaces.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Casa Una\u2019s interior layout is structured around several key programmatic areas: a welcoming reception lounge, a scale model of the neighborhood, sales zones for residential and commercial properties, and administrative offices. Additional spaces include meeting rooms, a mezzanine overlooking the central lake of Parque Una, an open-air auditorium, and dedicated educational areas. The \"comedoria,\" or food service area, offers meals and refreshments for visitors, residents, and workers from the surrounding community.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Sustainability lies at the core of the project\u2019s design. Casa Una utilizes natural cross ventilation and passive cooling techniques, along with renewable construction materials, to reduce its environmental impact. Interior design choices reflect a minimalist, functional ethos, favoring exposed wood finishes and adaptable furniture to allow for events ranging from exhibitions to informal gatherings. Visual continuity between indoor and outdoor areas reinforces the building\u2019s connection to nature.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
