Jacobsen Arquitetura is a Brazilian architecture studio and interior design office born in Rio de Janeiro. As a premise and as project methodology, we propose the integration between the built environment and its natural context. We do not start from pre-conceived forms, but create solutions derived from the dialogue between architecture and nature, considering the active contribution of its customers’ wishes. To this end, it is important to explore the possibilities of using natural materials, spatially interpreting the concepts of transparency, lightness and fluidity to constitute a contemporary aesthetic language. With international operations the offices are located at the cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Lisbon.

Featured projects

ELB Apartment

The ELB Apartment combines the classic layout of a family apartment with the atmosphere of a house suspended above the city.

DRG House

On the outskirts of São Paulo, on a sloping lot with open views of the horizon, the DRG House was designed for three generations of the same family.

CR House

Set in Comporta, a former fishing village on the Portuguese coast, the CR House is a summer residence surrounded by pine trees and sandy dunes.

AMS House

Carefully implemented on a sloping plot of land, the AMS House was built with the native forest as a backdrop and reference for its design.

BRM House

In the city of Paraty, the BRM House evokes the spirit of summer: the brightness of the sun, the color of the sand and the freshness of the sea.

ART House

Located in the beach town of Paraty, Rio de Janeiro, and with direct access to the sea, the ART Residence does not reveal itself at first glance.
