Text description provided by the architects. The Aruá building was designed considering 4 different blocks joined by a common vertical circulation. The work is similar to a jigsaw puzzle made up of four buildings with different blueprints and heights merged into one. The combination of these volumes forms an ascending spiral as each block has a floor that is higher than the previous one. This movement inspired the building’s name meaning snail shell in Tupi.

建筑的每个体量都结合有一系列的楼顶住宅 ， 这些住宅都带有花园和露台 ， 这有别于通过二楼所进入的开放区域 ， 这些空间形成独特的私家院落 。 每个体块有着不同的完成效果 ， 从而在强调自身体量的同时 ， 也平衡了建筑的不同部分 。
