Marcos Lula Completes Casa Noor, a 520 m² Family Home in Dona Matilde, Brazil

Brazilian architect Marcos Lula designed Casa Noor, a 520 m² residential project completed in 2024 in Dona Matilde, Brazil. The house was conceived around the daily life of a family, functioning as a gathering point for spontaneous interaction across generations rather than a formal residence. To support that intent, the design omits a conventional entrance door: access happens directly and naturally, removing formalities the architects judged incompatible with the family's and friends' routines. The architecture draws on the clean, light lines of Brazilian architecture, emphasizing material expression and exposing the house's constructive truth. The project team included Felipe Sousa and Heitor Rocha, with Marcos Lula as lead architect. Maurício Araújo photographed the house, and Susanna Moreira curated the presentation. Suppliers for the project were Terracor, Illuminato and Tai Azulejos. The work falls under the categories of residential architecture and houses, and the description was submitted by the project team.
