“I mean, the big challenge, right, with a Brazilian architect is that he's not used to dealing with all the aluminum that we have to deal with in this environment with a wind factor. Everything is lighter and more fragile and more minimal in Brazil.”

“Typically the sliding panels are allowed to be wider, for example, than your nano wall or folding wall system. So then when you see that, right, when you see the layering of that, I think it could be kind of disappointing, you know, to what was actually intended, right? And the house is all about this. I mean, this house is kind of about these details, right? That's why I'm kind of disappointed that you didn't take the detail all the way to the edge. How does it drip? What are the thicknesses? You know, all these things should be a requirement to have a satisfactory submittal for the Board of…”

“Just what is your paving system on that side where you have cars parked? That's the paving system. Yep, correct. I see. So that's, you know, like if you have an event, that's where everybody's going to come and park.”

“A one-car garage? Yes, a one-car. Is that a Brazilian thing?”

“I mean, there's no minimum parking requirement within the house in the code. A single car does it, yeah. That's the one lucky car. Yeah, all right. I'm sure it's for the lady of the house. Okay, so then that's your ground floor. Just trying to understand the relationship between, you know, indoor, the terraces.”

“You have a section that shows that relationship with the mezzanine between the ground level and the second level. Yes. It would be good to take a look at that. Sure.”

“Yeah, it would be nice to be able to explain that with a real section. Because it's kind of interesting, this idea of a mezzanine between the ground level, second level. How does that work and still get your AC ductwork distribution, all these other things that have to happen in these houses?”
