RESEARCH ABSTRACT: For creating project was made from a 6-month survey of interviews with people living in Sao Paulo. I chose five people who live in the city that served as inspiration to translate into a single LOFT what Sao Paulo meant to Brazil. Some born there and others who were living there in search of a job opportunity and researched about their habits and urban routines. What the city meant for each one of them.
CHALLENGE: The greatest challenges about the creative aspect of the project were to harmonize the light, clean and straight design idea with a more brutal and urban decor that the city of Sao Paulo offers, besides this it was necessary to make sure that we had a large number of people working on the project, around 50 people in total with only a short time to finish.
