Cozze Ristorante lands in Brasília, Brazil, as a restaurant crafted by Hersen Mendes Arquitetura with a contemporary Italian inflection. The studio shapes an urban room for pause and exchange, balancing curved lines with crisp planes and an expressive material mix. Guests move from a sinuous balcony to a sculpted counter, with stones, tiles, and layered textures guiding the tone. Art and craft fold into service, making the daily ritual of dining feel considered and generous.

Located in Brasília, Brazil, the Trees House was designed in 2024 by the Hersen Mendes Arquitetura firm. The house integrates with nature by incorporating elements such as suspended studios and tree-shaped pillars into the design. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, the project features fluid, organic spaces that use local materials and prioritize sheltering the interior while maintaining a connection to the surrounding Brazilian Cerrado landscape.
