Nova Granada Church / Estúdio HAA!

The projects start long before the architects enter the process, they are managed by future clients, nurtured until they reach a maturity in which it is possible to move from the dream plan to an abstraction of physical materiality, which we call an architectural project. The process of this project was no different, but what is interesting to tell is how this gestation contained in itself the essence of what the created space intends to propagate. After receiving a small corner plot of land from his grandparents in the municipality of Nova Granada, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, land that housed his grandparents' old house, the future client, together with his family, decides to build a small church as a tribute to their grandparents who were faithful devotees, and after construction, to donate to the centuries-old Christian denomination that the grandparents followed.
