“I ask questions, get references. Let’s go to his current house to understand more”, said the professional, who specifies at Portobello Shop Manaus. “When it's a new client, in addition to asking questions and asking for inspiration, I need to know what they like and why.

Obviously, the hundreds of photos with ideas will not make it into the final project, but with these images it is possible to better understand the resident's preferences.
“His project won't be full of these references, but we can understand the colors, what he likes most. It’s up to us, architects, to understand and suggest him to get out of his comfort zone.”

Know what constitutes a contemporary or classic environment, what differentiates them. If it has symmetry, the type of furniture, colors, among other characteristics.
