Residential architecture design in Brasília

We design how the house sits on the site and works in daily life. The design covers rooms, circulation, façades and openings, with attention to family routines, privacy, daylight and ventilation. The proposal sets out the stages and engineering services.

We assess the property to decide what to keep, adapt or replace. The design may connect rooms, add partitions or change building services. For apartments, we consider the building and any documents required by the condominium before construction.

We plan how each room will be used, from furniture and circulation to finishes, countertops and joinery. In a kitchen, for example, the design can improve prep space and storage around your daily routine.

We design gardens, courtyards and outdoor spaces for gathering, shade and privacy. Planting and paths take account of sun, soil, drainage and maintenance.

We specify where fixtures go and the type of light each room needs. That can mean focused light for food preparation and softer light for relaxing, with separate controls.

We plan water supply, wastewater and, where included, rainwater drainage. Fixture locations and pipe routes are documented for reliable operation and maintenance.

We locate outlets and switches and plan circuits and protection. Equipment loads, such as an electric oven or air conditioning, determine where dedicated circuits are needed.

The design sizes columns, beams and slabs and determines how the foundations transfer loads to the ground. It takes account of building loads and the conditions found in the soil investigation.

The survey records site boundaries, dimensions, levels and existing features such as walls and entrances. This informs the house placement, garage access and potential earthworks.

We review the commissioned designs together to identify conflicts between architecture, structure and building services. A pipe crossing a beam, for example, can be resolved in the drawings before construction.

Approval drawings provide the information the relevant authority needs to review the proposed work. Depending on the property and contract, we can support applications for approvals, building permits and the local occupancy certificate (Habite-se).

We turn design decisions into dimensioned drawings and specifications for the site team. Details can show counter heights, junctions between finishes or the exact position of a window or door. This helps contractors price the work and reduces last-minute decisions.

We review the property or site, your goals and the available information. This helps assess renovation potential, identify constraints and decide which studies or documents are needed next.

At agreed visits, 2E reviews selected work against the design, answers questions from the site team and advises within the contracted scope. The proposal defines the number and timing of visits.
