Daiane Moraes
Daiane leads every project in the studio and spends most of the year working from client markets rather than from a desk, making the world her office. Design reviews happen across a table when it matters — and over a call when it doesn't. She keeps herself close to the clients, and makes the perfect connections with the team.
An architect specialized in interior design and landscape architecture, Daiane found her strongest design interest in sustainable and off-grid living, with a particular focus on agroforestry, permaculture, and architecture that works in closer balance with its environment.
A full-time traveler for more than five years, she experiences cities, buildings, landscapes, and the everyday use of both private and public spaces with constant curiosity. Moving through different cultures and ways of living has become an important part of her design process, allowing her to observe architecture beyond aesthetics and draw inspiration from how people truly inhabit, adapt, and connect with places.
She also holds a master’s degree in BIM Consultancy and is currently completing advanced Autodesk BIM training. After more than 15 years working with architectural software, she has begun developing her own digital tools to improve design workflows and increase team productivity.
This research is being developed through iFlip Labs, where tools are tested by the iFlip Studio team as part of their everyday practice, allowing technology to evolve directly from real architectural needs.
Looking ahead, Daiane envisions a broader community of professionals sharing knowledge, tools, and expertise — creating a more collaborative, efficient, and connected way of working within architecture.

The client envisioned a high-end residential community of 95 homes, surrounded by the mountains of Rio de Janeiro’s countryside. The brief called for a complete and visually cohesive design encompassing wide internal streets, a 24-hour gatehouse and thoughtfully planned shared spaces, including sports courts, a fully equipped gym, playgrounds and gourmet areas. With a modern and refined architectural language, the project needed to communicate an elevated lifestyle and present a compelling vision capable of attracting investors and future residents.
- The timetable was tight
- The visualization needed to be presented before the technical details
- The land sizes were different to all the houses
- The common areas needed to be sophisticated, but simple
- At least 5 home types had to be fully detailed to incorporate the executive project
