Conceptual Design Study for a Boutique Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, located in the former Marina Palace Hotel building, in the iconic Leblon neighborhood.

​

Awarded the 11th Grand Corporate Architecture Prize in the Hospitality Interiors category, the project competed against major national firms and proposed a complete retrofit of this emblematic beachfront property.

​

Featuring 112 guestrooms, the program also included a rooftop restaurant, pool, and bar, along with a striking lobby design. The bold concept included a single multifunctional counter integrating jewelry retail, reception, and bar. One of the most distinctive features was a system of custom reflector lights projecting patterns inspired by Rio’s famous sidewalks onto the floor, establishing a poetic connection to the city’s urban identity.
