[Home] office or... an [Home] Atelier?

We did need a home office even before the apocalypse pandemia, or because now and then we needed to study something new or long time no seen subject, or prepare a presentation, or getting inspired... for many reasons that some of us used to be setting temp office at kitchen tables.

In time of the “new normal” for some of us it is officially a necessity. But working at home we have the freedom to create OUR space, to choose scent candles, color palettes, textures, sound track... anything! Why not to give a go to the idea of an atelier at home? A place with a [slightly] bigger table to throw things around and embrace a childish spirit of creativity in whatever you do.

Visually what it could look like? What is your favorite?

Here are some example of home offices:

1. Old Podol apartment [ Architects: Konstantin Kashchuk, Artem Kostiuchenko,Vitaly Vorobey]

A dedicated space that could even in between a living room or bedroom.

2. “ 2LG Studio mix pastel hues with quirky details for home and workplace in London “

In the wardrobe!

Why I wanted to share it?

Because we can slightly wear one of the most creatives shoes and borrow some creative confidence! At your 20′s you feel like you must figure it out, at your 30′s (although I’m at the 30′s) you are in the limbo and at your 40′s you wake up and realize you must do something of your life and start it all over again... (as I undertood she said...)

I’m at that moment that I just started it all over again (at 30′s) and I must figure it out how! What about you? Do you dare to spit it out?

What if you knew?

I confess that a lot of doubt closes my eyes to make the best of now, to give more, to make more, to enjoy more and worry less. Because of these I just love when I find these advices from top experienced professionals.... and here it goes http://99u.com/articles/55667/what-i-wish-i-knew-at-every-age --- That careers are never linear…“I used to think my career would be very linear, but even in the almost eight years since I graduated, I’ve worked at a branding studio, done illustration and product design, worked in-house for several large brands, and now as a freelancer. And I don’t necessarily want to be a graphic designer forever.” – Ben Wagner, independent designer and art director, New York City --- No one has it all figured out…“Acknowledge that no one has it all figured out – even your mentors, bosses, or design heroes – and that’s okay. The important thing to remember is to keep creating. Spend more time and energy on making your best work, and less on comparing yourself to others.” – B.W. --- That there’s no rush…“The pressure to do things quickly or have success happen right away is ingrained in our culture of instant-gratification, but really your real life is so long. There are so many things that you can do and there is no reason to panic when you are in your 20s. Sure, you only live once, but you also have this long life ahead of you.” – L.C. --- To stop worrying about other people… “We spend a lot of time in our twenties trying to please other people or worrying if we are doing the right thing. There is something about getting older that just makes you think to hell with that, I’m going to do what I want to do because what have I got to lose? That was definitely my experience – I quit my job to be an artist, and I owed it to myself to try.” – Lisa Congdon, illustrator and author, Portland, Oregon --- You can be 77-years-young…“I’m surprised to find myself with the chronological age of 77 when really I feel as if I’m still somewhere between the ages of fourteen and twenty-eight. The key to feeling young is keeping your eyes open and trying as best as possible to get the most out of every day.”– K.D. ---

In 2015, when I was in my way to Chile, I spent 3 months in Cuiabá and got the opportunity to collaborate in a national competition with my dear friends Leonardo Prazeres and Ana Carolina Rodrigues. We ended up getting the 3° prize and above are few images! 

The project should be a proposal for a new office for the Architectural Council of the State of Goiais.  We created a prismatic pattern to be used through all the spaces to create office partitions and signages as visual identity in the space, as a net. Another strong point in our project was that we achieved to create the meeting room possible to be divided in 5 smaller rooms (or entirely opened).  https://www.behance.net/gallery/55392139/Architecture-Council-of-Goiais-Brazil-Competition

{in progress} Back home has its happy moments. I teamed with my father to create an identity to my mother’s home made cake [tiny little] store. He made the illustrations and I made the graphic design and art direction :D  The idea was to highlight the ingredients to show she uses everything as natural as possible. The color palette we opted for vivid with this red/white as principal. The type is the lovely Valentina by  Pedro Arilla, a tribute to his grandmother. Straight when I laid my eyes on it saw my mother’s personality as well.
