"Coplanar" means "to share a same plane", representing a connection between two or more entities under the same goals and principles. In portuguese, it also carries a meaning similar to "co-plan", as in "to plan in collaboration".

Every design is richer when created by multiple hands and mindsets. Collaboration is a very important part of our work philosophy, wether with an enthusiastic client, a partner architect, an eager intern, or a skilled member of the renovation team. It starts with the exchange of ideas and dreams, it goes all the way through the planning and execution phases, up until the very last stages of finishes, furnishing and decor.

We believe in thoughtful renovation of Brazilian homes, by establishing a connection with the place's history, as well as with its surroundings, wether it's a natural environment or a bustling neighborhood in the city center. To create a connection between home and its surroundings is to expand the limits so as to remember that we are part of a community and part of its history.

To create a connection between nature and design is a way to remind ourselves that our home isn't limited to the limits of our plot of land or our apartment's door, and that we should also take care of our community and our environment as an extension of our home. We can integrate nature into a design through various manners, such as natural lighting, natural ventilation, the views to the sky and the trees, easier access to porches and backyards, so that the connection between inside and outside is seamless and enriching, all while creating architecture that inspire social connection between its inhabitants as well as visitors.

We believe in highlighting the best of existing aspects of a place while updating other features in order to better fit with today's needs and demands.
