1st Place Award,  Commercial Space Category, in annual competition by New Center of Professional Architects and Designers from Pernambuco (Novo Núcleo PE), Brazil ; Featured AU magazine, issue 224.

Nestled within Recife's legendary bohemian spot, Galeria Joana D’arc, ​the Anjo Solto restaurant undergoes a transformative renovation that integrates the public loggia with the new space. The main goal was to craft a visually striking ambiance using simple elements, ensuring a unique spatial experience, which was achieved through dynamic ceiling-hung plywood fins, dyed in a vibrant red hue, evoking a sense of movement. ​Organic, locally-sourced materials were prioritized, such as cementitious floor tiles and aged pine wood panels coated in black dye. Thoughtfully chosen photographs by visual artist Alessandra Botelho enhance the space's atmosphere and functionality, adorning the corridor, lounge, and restroom walls.

​

The project's innovative design caught the attention of AU magazine, earning a feature in issue 224—a testament to its recognition as an emerging architectural gem in Northeast Brazil.
