Brazilian architect Leandro Garcia feels passionate about working with ‘sophistication and simplicity’. He runs his own office from Curitiba since 2013, following stints at the offices of two of his country’s leading creatives, Marcelo Rosenbaum and Isay Weinfeld. Having worked a lot with residential interiors, Garcia has been developing his first standalone house, Passaúna House, which is currently under construction. 'Each project has its singularity that reflects the essence of our work and what we believe in,' he explains. 'In Passaúna House – designed for a cinephile couple – we developed a strong concept inspired by cinema. The spaces were conceived as a sequence of scenes to be discovered.'
