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.

JLD Apartment

Distributed in two levels and facing Villa Lobos Park, the project of this “house in the sky” aims to be an oasis in the middle of the city.

DRP House

Located on the countryside of São Paulo, the DRP House is not easily perceived by those walking on the street.

LCB House

Incorporating the Japanese concept of engawa [縁側], the LCB House blurs the boundaries between inside and outside.

MRD House

Next to a dense tropical forest, this project sought to adapt to an uneven terrain by focusing on paths and viewpoints to the surrounding nature.

RV House

In the outskirts of São Paulo with views to a large lake, this project sought to highlight the connection with nature through its choice of materials.

JCP House

Located in a residential neighborhood in the city of São Paulo, JCP House is more akin to a countryside retreat than an urban residence.
