G A L E R I A A M A N T I K I R, PENEDO, BRAZIL



GALERIA AMANTIKIR started as a project for JORDAN SCHÖNNING in AUG 2022. JORDAN SCHÖNNING is Architect Marcello Jordan my husband and me.  Last week of September we attended the premiére opening in Penedo. Penedo is located in Rio de Janeiro state 3 hours drive from the city of Rio in the mountains of Serra da Mantiqueria.




Galeria Amantikir is one 
building consisting of two commercial spaces. 


There are wooden decks welcoming 
in front and in the back of the building. 



Galeria Amantikir is a space 
for Brazilian Art curated 
by Nina Garcia. 





The gallery has a bar 
and serves snacks. 
















Special attention has been 
taken to all of the 
trees on the site. 
Both outside the building 
as well as indoor. 



The trees that we here 
long before the gallery 
define the building.
 
An arborist aproach 
we are very proud of.
 
The word for tree is 
árvore in Brazilian portuguese. 



The building is connected 
but divided in two. 
The white facade is 
Galeria Amantikir 
and the green facade 
will be a day spa.

Inbetween the two conneted housebodies a tree has 
been kept and at 
the foot of the tree 
a pool for turtles. The pool is connected with a indoor section. The turtle pool is outdoor 
and indoor aswell in 
the Galeria Amantikir.
