Brands: Carelli, Porsche Design
Date: March 2015 / February 2016
What We Did: Looking backwards we dived into the design history to find the essence of this project learning about professor F. A. Porsche and his philosophy. Four countries were involved: Brazil, Austria, Germany and United States; and we shot in three of them. With hours of interviews, we connected the pieces that make the story of the first Porsche Design Tower in Latin America.

Some people may think it’s just a coincidence, but this likeness brought together Carelli and Porsche families into the inception of one of the largest and boldest projects in the region: Porsche Design Towers Brava.
The complex will be the heart of Brava International, a region that covers 110 km of coast and features in the top 5 HDI* in Brazil, serving as a reference for contemporary design and natural environment integration.
As Carelli’s partners since 2014, we were selected to be part of the team and tell the story.
Aligned with the Porsche Design philosophy, we started a deep investigation of many aspects of the process, going straight to the source to find all the answers.
A year long project – with incredible learnings – going through stages of immersion, collaboration with both Carelli and Porsche Design, and final production of the film. We followed every step of the process and this proximity gave us a full understanding of not only the aesthetic of the production but also the form and function of the project so we could deliver the message in then right context. Extracting this essence we wrote the script to show how everything worked since conception and this exercise took us back to our own essence of design thinking.
Located in southern Brazil, Brava International is a place where the Atlantic Forest graces man with exuberance and beauty. 7 cities, more than 70 beaches and endless options for dining and entertainment, including some of the best clubs in the world.
The region is an extraordinary combination of strong economic development, cool lifestyle and pure nature.
Our challenge was to introduce Brava Hills as an international standard neighborhood so we had to look at all surroundings only to discover there was a more functional way to define the entire region.
Most of the creative work was done in the studio in Austria in collaboration with Brazil and Germany, while license and project management were taken care by the team in Germany. All the planning and structural work, including the acquiring of the land has taken place in Brazil.
We captured images in almost every country and our role was to introduce the complexity and magnitude of the project that marks the story of civil construction not only in Brazil, but in the world, in just 4 minutes.
“A process that involves professionals from Austria, Brazil, Germany and the United States, making this a truly international project.”
