Facing the State Administrative Center

On Rua Raimundo Chaves, in Lagoa Nova, the headquarters of the Tavares e Fernandes law firm was born facing the Administrative Center of the State of Rio Grande do Norte — a strategic position for the firm’s daily work.

On an urban plot of 330 m², Podium built the program vertically: 587.56 m² across three levels and a rooftop, with a floor-area ratio of 1.25.

The rooftop

A hall with the city all around

At the top, the corner-to-corner glazed hall frames Arena das Dunas and the Natal skyline — lounge, events and gatherings of the firm on the most coveted floor of the building.

A slatted timber ceiling, glass railings and the terrace under a metal pergola complete the rooftop.

The light

The mashrabiya that draws the hours

The great mashrabiya panel filters Natal’s strong sun and protects the interiors — and casts a grid of light on the floor that travels through the day, like a sundial.

Inside, glass partitions with black profiles, slatted panels, acoustic ceilings and selected marbles: the sobriety of an office, the warmth of a home.

Ground-floor parking with permeable interlocking pavers under the building’s slab
The execution

Technique that doesn’t show — and holds everything

On the ground floor, the parking area received permeable paving: 24.68% of the lot remains permeable, returning rainwater to the soil in the heart of Lagoa Nova.

Structure, glass skin, mashrabiya and joinery executed under Podium’s own management — the same rigor as our houses, from the concrete to the last finish.
