This house is located in a gated community in the interior of São Paulo, where the family spends weekends and receives many friends. The project's premise was to create a spacious house that is also very integrated and practical. From any of the rooms, you have a general view of the whole and can observe the entire dynamics of the spaces. Thus, the design idea was for the house to be a large porch, opening up and integrating with the garden. That's why there are so few walls, large glass enclosures and few curtains. The architectural design was made up of few elements, leaving the aesthetics very monobloc. Elements such as concrete, wood and gray are repeated throughout the entire area. The porcelain tiles, which cover the entire ground floor, invade the garden, covering the pool. On the ground floor, we have wood in the ceiling, while on the upper floor this same material covers the floor. The coziness was provided by the interior design, which used a lot of wood, textured fabrics, rugs and a mix of vintage and contemporary furniture. A little mix that we love here at the office.

Speaking of the pool, it needed to be a semi-Olympic size, with a 25-meter lane, and that's what we did. The house has 6 suites, 3 of them on the ground floor next to the gym and another 3 on the upper floor. This division divided and preserved the family space, making it even more intimate. A TV room with home office support completes this space. 
The service block (kitchen, service area and employee apartment) also gained a well-defined space. Allowing all the employee circulation to the side of the house, without losing the residents' privacy. 

The olive tree, over 250 years old, right in the center of the house, which stands out in the internal garden. We really like this play on solids and voids in a building.

A grand bench by the artist Hugo França in the garden, as well as others arts. A 1950s desk, a family heirloom, was also restored and used in the hall on the upper floor. The striped UP armchair by Gaetano Pesce was also one of the starting points for the layout. This armchair has belonged to the couple since their marriage, approximately 15 years ago.
