“Timeless”: an interview with Arthur Casas featured in the latest edition of Forbes magazine.

More than mere form, what has always guided Arthur Casas’ work is the experience architecture provides, the memory it builds, and its ability to stand the test of time.

A principle that applies whether to a house in Iporanga, a hotel in Dubrovnik, or even to IACAI – an institute founded to reimagine the Brazilian construction industry.

In the 40-storey building, Arthur had the rare opportunity to test his theories on architecture and contemporary urban living, designing spaces, furnishings and finishes tailored to his own needs”: ELLE Decoration UK features the AC Apartment, Arthur Casas’s own residence within the mixed-use complex Praça Henrique Monteiro, also designed by Studio Arthur Casas.

The article describes the apartment as “conceived almost like a camper van, where everything has a specific function,” highlighting a compact and highly controlled living environment where architecture, interiors, furniture, and daily life are conceived as a single system.

“Living the Rhythm of the City” | Pulso Hotel is featured on the cover of the latest Interior Design + Contract issue by Italian magazine The Plan. The publication highlights the project’s approach to hospitality as an extension of domestic living – where architecture, art, wellness, and social interaction unfold through a continuous spatial experience in the heart of São Paulo.

Part of the mixed-use Praça Henrique Monteiro complex – a project entirely designed by Studio Arthur Casas and winner of The Plan Award 2025 – the hotel reflects a contemporary interpretation of hospitality through permeable spaces, integrated greenery, and a strong connection between urban life and well-being.

Dubai Villas Masterplan | Between desert and sea, architecture unfolds through landscape.

A mixed-use coast development by Studio Arthur Casas that brings together residential, hospitality, leisure, and wellness programs. Comprising villas, branded residences, a hotel, restaurants, social amenities, and shared public spaces, the project is structured around the integration of architecture, water, vegetation, and climate-responsive design.

Inspired by the organic geometry of Emirati wadis and shaped by the environmental conditions of the Arabian Gulf, the masterplan prioritizes pedestrian experience, shaded circulation, and continuous connections between built form and its surroundings, creating a cohesive destination defined by a strong relationship with its coastal setting.

Hotel Villa Dubrovnik

The project reinterprets local identity through a contemporary lens, drawing inspiration from the city’s modern and cosmopolitan atmosphere of the 1950s. Materials such as limestone, cotto and croatian oak, combined with a palette that highlights the terracotta tones of the rooftops, reinforce an architecture rooted in its context and in dialogue with the surrounding landscape.

Located in a protected 1961 building originally designed by Croatian architect Mladen Frka, the hotel overlooks the Adriatic Sea and the historic city of Dubrovnik. For the interiors, Studio Arthur Casas developed a complete renovation guided by simplicity, clean lines, and local materials – limestone, stucco, cotto, and oak – establishing a dialogue between the building’s modernist heritage and the cosmopolitan soul of the city. Subtle details, such as perforated panels inspired by traditional Croatian lace, reinforce the connection to local culture while maintaining a contemporary architectural language.

This marks the Studio’s fourth Prix Versailles recognition, reflecting an ongoing trajectory of internationally acknowledged work in architecture and interiors.

Built on a cliff along the Dalmatian coast, Villa Dubrovnik reopened its doors this summer after nearly two years of renovation. Embracing the Croatian concept of ‘fjaka’ – elevating easy living and a way of doing nothing to an art form – the hotel feels like a private retreat tucked away from the hustle and bustle despite being located less than a mile away from the Old Town.

Situated in the eastern part of the city, next to Plaža Sveti Jakov, Villa Dubrovnik makes the perfect base to explore the city while enjoying the calming sound of the sea. Even though the hotel offers shuttle service, it’s worth the 15-minute walk to the Old Town, which is designated as a Unesco World Heritage Site. As you go, let your mind wander on one of the wooden benches overlooking the sea or visit the Umjetnička galerija Dubrovnik with its stunning sculpture terrace showcasing works from Croatian artists like Branko Ružić.

Known for his subtle shades and idyllic escapes, Brazilian architect Arthur Casas and his team are the masterminds behind Villa Dubrovnik’s redesign. ‘Each internal space naturally dialogues with the surroundings, creating an immersive experience where the landscape becomes the main protagonist,’ says Casas, who was heavily inspired by the vastness of the Adriatic Sea for this project. Here, tradition and contemporary spirit coexist in balance, offering a continuous encounter between inside and outside.

Every detail – from the choice of materials to the colour palette – carries the identity of Dubrovnik and makes its heritage feel present in every corner. The use of terracotta pays tribute to the city’s rooftops, and the limestone in walls and sculptural elements mirrors the stone walls of the Old Town, which protected the city from invaders back in the day. ‘The materials are not decorative layers but elements of identity, allowing the interiors to resonate with the city’s stone heritage,’ Casas continues.
