Golden A' Design Award Winner 2020
This architectural visualization presents a tall residential tower photographed during twilight, scanning from ground to sky the composition reveals several distinct zones. The foreground contains a manicured grass lawn with small spherical ground lights casting warm golden pools onto green turf. A low-rise entrance pavilion spans the lower portion featuring cream-colored stone walls with pronounced horizontal grooves creating a striated texture like layered sediment, the stone warm as sun-bleached sandstone. Large glass panels framed in crisp white metal reveal glimpses of softly lit interior spaces. A flat horizontal canopy extends rightward connecting to additional dark structures. Rising dramatically from this base, the main tower ascends approximately twelve to fourteen stories, its form tapering slightly as it climbs creating a subtle wedge shape narrower at top than bottom. The facade presents alternating horizontal bands: dark charcoal panels featuring subtle veining like polished marble create bold stripes, while recessed balcony levels between each band glow with warm amber light suggesting inhabited domestic spaces. Mature trees with dense green foliage frame the left edge, their organic rounded forms providing soft counterpoint to the building's geometric precision. The sky transitions from deep cerulean blue at upper left through softer periwinkle toward the horizon, with scattered clouds catching warm peach and cool lavender light from the setting sun. The overall atmosphere feels calm and contemplative, the building appearing to float between earth and sky, its illuminated bands creating a ladder-like rhythm ascending into twilight. Temperature sensations range from the cool blue of evening sky to warm amber domestic glow emanating from each residential level.
Borgio Verezzi is a residential building with twenty-two floors, in the city of Caxias do Sul, in the extreme south of Brazil. The choice for a differentiated residential product was a conviction of the developer and the architectural firm since its earliest studies. Volumetrically, the building is constituted of a vertical monolith of which they were suppressed volumes in their corners where are located their balconies. These balconies are pushed and stretched for a better viewing and sunlight of each plane.
