Design Details

Unique Properties
Inspired by the waves and nautical lines, the Era development is located in a booming city on the coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The robust structure finds lightness and modernity through light and striking horizontal lines, complemented by the gardens that run along the tower creating movement effect and biophilicexperience.
Inspiration
The architecture is inspired by aerodynamics, with modern forms and light colors, and a nautical theme. Its layout follows a sailboat's contours, giving the sensation of being inside a yacht. ERA represents progress and innovation, reflecting the future of architecture and design in the city. It's a beacon of hope, inspiring residents and visitors to embrace change and strive for progress.
Research
Era will have a significant impact on the housing landscape of Itapema and the lives of its residents. Its innovative design and modern aesthetic will set a new standard for urban living, providing a unique living experience that combines efficiency, comfort, and beauty. The nautical theme of Era's architecture creates a sense of adventure and freedom, evoking the feeling of being inside a yacht. This, combined with the building's state-of-the-art technology, will make for a unique and inspiring living experience. Era's impact will extend beyond its aesthetic and technological innovations.
Realization and Technology
We performed a test to verify the effects of wind on the Era. The wind tunnel test was carried out by NOVA Fluid Mechanics in Genoa, Italy. A reduced-scale model of the development and surroundings was built within a radius of 250m. With pressure sensors spread across the surface of the model, we were able to predict the climate effects on the development over a 50-year return period.
Project Duration and Location
The project starts in June 2024 and will be completed in March 2029. It will be located in Itapema, Santa Catarina, Brazil.
