João Gomes’ Architects Say Rustic Redesign Is Condo-Approved, Awaiting His Go-Ahead

Overview

• The firm says it completed a revised project in the desired 'casa do sertão' style that has condominium approval and now awaits the singer’s sign-off to start work.
• João Gomes said on the Prosa Sertanejo podcast that he wanted a traditional veranda house and felt architects offered only “square houses.”
• He owns two adjacent plots in the Alphaville condominium in Petrolina totaling 600 m², which remain undeveloped.
• The parties held four meetings about the project, starting in July 2023, with the redesign emerging after a third facade revision.
