Emmilia Cardoso is a brazilian architect that believes in the Architecture of Happiness, a concept that she fully implements. Active for more than 30 years in her hometown Rio de Janeiro, she is specialized in residence or corporate buildings design and landscaping. Her projects focus on quality of life, comfort and sustainability. With a taste for beiges, whites, and greys, she uses the vibrant colors in decorative objects and details.
