Our Director of Operations, Liliana Vergamini Luna de Sá, took part in the AsBEA 2025 Convention, where she presented the panel “Focus and Management”. In her talk, Liliana introduced the firm and its team profile, showcased selected projects, and discussed the importance of continual reinvention over time.

According to Liliana, “In a context of growing complexity, it is essential to balance creativity and efficiency, adapt to new business models, embrace technology and sustainable practices, and value human capital”.

She outlined the firm’s project workflow and organisational structure, emphasising the importance of a robust computing infrastructure, the use of BIM and related tools, and presented project cases featuring applied technology and artificial intelligence. The session concluded with a panel discussion alongside Miriam Addor (Addor & Partners) and Vitor Pessoa (Vipe Architecture), who shared their perspectives on the topic.

The convention took place from 15 to 18 October in Salvador, Bahia. The firm’s participation was highlighted on the Radar Imobiliário portal, where AsBEA-BA President Moah Torres underscored the importance of the practice as an example of sound planning: “Königsberger Vannucchi is synonymous with solidity, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to the quality of Brazilian architecture. Having them on the management panel is crucial to showing that good architecture is also built through planning and a vision for the future”.

Located on the block bordered by Bem-te-vi Avenue and Arapapi and Arapanés streets, Bem Moema is a mixed-use project conceived to accommodate a broad programme — combining residential use, office spaces, and ground-floor retail — within a consolidated urban fabric. The design strategy adopted was to divide the complex into three complementary sectors, organising the different functions while enhancing the relationship with the surrounding area.

The residential tower, located on the corner of Bem-te-vi and Arapapi, features five apartments per floor and ground-floor retail opening onto Arapapi Street. Planters and railings lend a pleasant atmosphere to the apartments. The use of precast concrete panels on the façade ensures durability, reduced maintenance costs, and faster construction, resulting in a shorter overall build time.

The “Studios & Offices” tower, with exclusive access from Arapanés Street, was designed as a hybrid typology, combining offices and residential studios, and also includes ground-floor retail. Completing the ensemble, a single-tenant retail unit occupies the corner of Bem-te-vi Avenue and Arapanés Street.

Our founding partner, Gianfranco Vannucchi, comments on the Arte Concreta residential project, developed in collaboration with Nortis for the corner of Boulevard Franca and Padre João Manuel Street, in the Jardins neighbourhood of São Paulo.

Königsberger Vannucchi is the architectural studio behind MAAM, a residential building developed in partnership with R. Yazbek. The project occupies a spacious and symbolic site in the Paraíso neighbourhood of São Paulo, whose character — complete, leafy, and well-established — served as its inspiration.

At the urban scale, the building stands out for its volumetry: one block subtly offset and resting upon another. As one approaches, woodland mediates between exterior and interior, suggesting a sense of continuity. The concrete pavilion opens up to welcome visitors — the beginning of an architectural journey. A reflecting pool introduces calm and produces shifting reflections that heighten the connection between people and nature. A glass prism blurs the threshold between inside and out, allowing daylight to bathe the atrium space. Nature is also present throughout the ground-floor leisure areas, where the building’s woodland offers a sense of wellbeing to children in the playroom, serenity to those engaged in physical activity, and a quiet beauty to guests in the function hall.

This green pathway leads to generous apartments with flexible layouts, enabling spacious and comfortable living. At the junction between the two volumes, a double-height floor with a timber ceiling becomes a distinctive feature — a place where residents can enjoy moments of wellbeing in a spa overlooking Ibirapuera Park.

Our project MAAM, developed in partnership with R. Yazbek, was featured in Imóveis de Valor, a special property supplement of the newspaper Valor Econômico. The article highlighted the growing importance of tennis courts in the leisure programmes of new residential developments. It also emphasised the architectural and structural solution of the Y-shaped column, which ensures the optimal functioning of the court while generating a distinctive form that inspired the project’s visual identity.

“The column of the 30-storey tower takes on a Y shape at what would be the third floor, so as not to interfere with the tennis court space”, explains Alarcon, adding that the sport’s recent boom in Brazil has brought a fresh approach to residential leisure design. “The tennis court has always been a mark of high-end developments, but it has now become a defining feature of the projects”, he says.

Comprising a single tower with apartments ranging from 160 to 403 square metres, MAAM is designed by Königsberger Vannucchi, with interiors by David Bastos and landscaping by Licuri. The project’s gross development value (GDV) is estimated at R$600 million (US$ 110 million).
