Description: "In the scope of UNEP's initiative "Clean Energy Mini-grids", EDP established a partnership to develop cost-effective, decentralized, clean energy applications in isolated off-grid communities. Following a screening process, an off-grid village was selected, Titimane, in Mozambique, given its more favorable enabling conditions: strong local partner SAN-JFS, biomass potential and more compact village. This project creates an opportunity to test a new business model (mini-utility based on fee-for-service) with innovative technologies (solar, storage, biomass, micro-grid, pre-payment) as a first step into a potentially large attractive and unserved market. This programme is a key contribution to the UN Secretary General’s Sustainable Energy for All (SE4All) Initiative and aims to introduce clean energy mini-grid structures to currently unserved locations."

Role: Lecturer
Description: Lectures at the Corporate University at EDP about the role of architecture in the projects for hydroelectric facilities. Focusing in explaining the design process of a building to the class, I produced this image that aggregates some of the design thinking principles and process sequence, with the 5-step technique for producing ideas, written by James Webb Young in 1939.

Two storeys, one apartment for B&B.
The lower floor, a basement, was never used for domestic purposes. Only one small window brought natural light to the long and narrow interior space, used as a storage space.
How could we convert a very dark and narrow space into a cozy suite? Into a place where tourists would feel comfortable. Into a place that they would recommend?
The commercial purposes of this work could never be forgotten.
The defined strategy appointed at creating bright coatings that would reflect the scarce natural light and create the sensation of a wider space than it was. Bright and plain surfaces to reflect light and wood to create texture and a ‘feel like home’ atmosphere. In the center, as the heart of the space, a multifunctional wooden piece that serves for eating, sleeping and relaxing, completely directed to the garden.
On the upper floor the task was simpler, but still challenging: the creation of another space that mixed sleeping and eating but allowing the income of natural light to the interior spaces. Naturally, without ‘killing’ a certain sense of privacy in the sleeping area, conferred here by thin vertical wooden pieces. And a projected, but still not executed, long curtain.
The bathroom, with the curved wall inspired by our previous work, Caldeireiros Houses, created a smoother entrance in the space, protecting, at the same time, the sleeping area from the entrance.
The superb rating of this apartment on different platforms, as the client complete satisfaction, is the best feedback that we can receive.

The goal was to create an object that symbolized the COMPETENCE of the workers of EDP Produção, a company integrated in the EDP Group. EDP Produção operates hydroelectric and thermal power generation plants and supplies electricity. Its workers are well known for their amazing technical know-how.
The form of the hand emerged as the 'workers hand'. An element that creates and builds with great skills and would represent the refined ability of the workers in taking complex projects from the preliminary studies, to its conclusion.
The pieces inside the cube, like brick, cement, screws, electrical cables, plastic, wood, paper, are real components used for the projects,construction and maintenance of EDPs' facilities, as the dams, the power plants and all the other buildings. The transparent resin is the unifying element that allows to reveal the parts around the object.
The unclosed cube powers the will to put our hands inside the big hand, and feel the recognized COMPETENCE of the workers of EDP Produção.
