Arthur Casas: Brazilian Architecture in Dialogue With the Landscape
Arthur Casas approaches architecture and interiors as connected parts of a larger experience. Across houses, hotels and urban projects, the Brazilian designer's studio uses material, light and circulation to establish a close relationship between daily life and the surrounding landscape.

A practice across scales
Studio Arthur Casas works across residential, commercial, hospitality and other fields, with projects in Brazil and beyond. The portfolio demonstrates an interest in how spaces can adapt to different cultural settings while retaining a thoughtful approach to proportion and material detail.
Living with the environment
Homes such as Praia Brava House and Baroneza House explore the relationship between architecture and topography. Large openings, carefully configured volumes and connections to outdoor areas allow the landscape to become an active part of the experience.

The studio's recent work includes the Villa Dubrovnik Hotel in Croatia and the Pulso Hotel in São Paulo. These projects offer different interpretations of contemporary hospitality, examining how design creates intimacy at very different architectural scales.
Material as narrative
Casas's design is best understood through a sequence of images that move from exterior context to interior rooms and craft details. The photographs should capture spatial relationships, not just decorative objects, and identify the official project and photographer.
