Contemporary-style house inside a gated community, designed by Pritzker Award winner Paulo Mendes da Rocha. The house was built on the structure of eight pillars, leaving an almost entirely free area underneath in a way that does not interfere with the surrounding landscape and reducing modifications to the terrain. The property is located in a privileged district of São Paulo, an area full of nature and wooded areas. The ascending lot starts on the street level and follows a path upward towards the house; the access into the building hides the service area. A straight staircase leads up into the main living area on one side of the building, which is integrated with a central open courtyard, while the other side comprises an outdoor corridor space. The bedrooms line up along on side, interspersed with the bathrooms, all of them facing a central courtyard. This layout allows for very well-ventilated areas, creating spaces with controlled temperature and humidity.
