When we were invited to design this house in the interior of So Paulo state, we were impressed by the beauty of the landscaping and the view surrounding the family's former residence. However, the existing building no longer met their needs, and there was no reason to keep it. We decided to preserve the stone wall that defined the main plateau and the topographic profile of the land, significant elements of the property. In this way, we also maintained the beautiful landscaping, composed of a dense and varied tree park, the result of decades of cultivation and care.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The design is organized around a central living area with a double-height ceiling on the highest plateau, defined by the stone wall. The other living areas are integrated into this central area, with a highlight on the balcony overlooking the valley, the open kitchen, and the covered terrace next to the pool. Two guest bedrooms, located near the entrance, complete the ground floor.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The main volume of the house is resolved by a structural grid of glued laminated timber (GLT), which supports the central living area and extends cantilevers to the north and south, creating the supports for the bedrooms, the office, and the suspended terraces, with a privileged view of the valley. A large translucent polycarbonate roof, supported by lightweight metal profiles, protects the house from excessive sunlight while allowing natural light to enter, especially in the central area, illuminated by a large skylight.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeMaterialsMaterials and TagsPublished on December 24, 2024Cite: "RF Residence / Andrade Morettin Arquitetos Associados" [Residncia RF / Andrade Morettin Arquitetos Associados] 24 Dec 2024.
