More than two decades after its opening, Hotel Unique — Ruy Ohtake’s internationally acclaimed architectural masterpiece — undergoes a sensitive interior renewal led by João Armentano, the original author of its design. The challenge was to preserve the essence of Ohtake’s bold geometry while reinterpreting the interiors through a new layer of Brazilian design that feels as contemporary today as it will decades from now. This renovation enhances without erasing, keeping the hotel alive, open, and evolving — still a true postcard of São Paulo.

Central to the project is a curved canopy inspired by the Japanese Engawa, paired with generous glass openings that frame the landscape and dissolve boundaries between building and garden. These transparent connections, enhanced by refined window frames, create spaces that seamlessly host events, encounters, and moments of contemplation. A new gallery with a mezzanine allows flexible exhibitions, where ceramic exteriors contrast with warm wood interiors illuminated by natural light. Externally, VDLA’s landscape design forms an urban forest around the lake, framing the museum’s reflective ceramic façade and enriching the visitor’s experience with nature.
Awarded every three years, this prize recognizes projects that set new standards of excellence in architecture, urban planning, historic preservation, and landscape design, highlighting solutions that respond to the needs and aspirations of communities with a significant Muslim presence.

Completed in 1939, the iconic residence doesn’t just sit within the landscape, it becomes part of it, with cantilevered terraces that echo the rock ledges below and locally quarried stone anchoring it to the earth. Designed as a weekend retreat for the Kaufmann family, the home channels the movement of water and the stillness of forest, capturing Wright’s vision of organic architecture at its most daring. With every plane and pour, Fallingwater reminds us that nature isn’t something to be framed, it’s something to be lived. Dive into The Panorama of Fallingwater!

In contrast, the upper floor, where the bedrooms are, is closed off externally for privacy but opens inward to a central patio, fostering family connection. Dive into The Panorama of Casa 3M.
