In 2016 Brazilian Architecture firms Mareinas Arquitetura and Patalano Arquitetura completed an incredibly unique home in Sao Paulo. They named it Pinhao after a Brazilian fruit, which is a staple. They've translated the organic form of the fruit in the building and leafy roof shape, using ramps instead of stairs, and seemingly contiguous spaces. Complementing its shape with natural woods, brick, and stone provide a complete organic feeling. We encourage you to explore the architects and photographer's Instagram pages, which we have referenced below, and their websites.

This project is a graceful accomplishment for mixed use and affordable housing. In San Francisco, townhome style dwellings are common. Bill Sorro communities have been designed to complement the surrounding community. This mix-use design contains 67 low-income families, 14 of the apartments are specifically designed for developmentally disabled adults. Like the surrounding structures, Bill Sorro’s Community (BSC) stands right against the road, granting easier access by foot, bike, and vehicles. This is an exemplary project to model, from both a design, and business perspectives. The developer made sure that the commercial tenants rent costs are low, so they could keep their own costs down for the residents, and surrounding community. architects: photographer: @ San Francisco, California

How often do you glimpse at your cities skyline and point out anything and everything you recognize? I’ve done that here and pointed out some of the largest buildings in Rochester, New York’s skyline. It’s a common photograph many Rochestarians take at the beautiful Cobbs Hill Reservoir.

What looks like ruins, seeps life and history. . . If these stones could talk what would they say?
