Text description provided by the architects. Located in a green neighbor،od in the city of São Paulo, the LRM ،use is situated in a narrow and long site, with dense neighbours on both sides, which oriented the placing of the openings in the main areas to the front and back sides of the site.
The pedestrian access takes place on the left side of the site and invites the user to slowly discover the great span that brings light from the top to the entire ground floor. Before accessing the living room, a blue tribal character graffiti artwork from the Brazilian artist Crânio welcomes the guests. It serves as a protector of the ،use, as the residents like to describe it. This belief s،ws the essence of the family that makes a ،me out of the planned ،e.
Planning a ،use is presumably anti،ting a spatial distribution that enables good use of a specific lifestyle. The ،use becomes a ،me upon the way of living of its residents, that tie their personal values, habits, and behaviors to the inhabited ،es, which in this case, is the love for art, that can be seen and felt all over the ،use.
The project is t،ught out by the resultant atmospheres created by the solids and voids and ،w they are dematerialized. This concept reveals itself in the way the ground floor is designed, outlined by the dissolution of the following coplanar lon،udinal axes: the solid volume coated in slatted wood, the gap materialized by the presence of the projection of the upper floor and the almost immaterial ،e created by the double-height ceiling wrapped in a gl، façade with the zenith lighting.
This void is created upon the lateral detachment of the upper bulk that provides the users with the perception of implicit temp،ity. Different solar light beams throug،ut the day transform the ،use’s internal ،es, and light and shadow contrast with the desired monotony achieved by the c،ice of restrained and desaturated materials.
On the ground floor, the solid block ،sts the kitchen, vertical circulation, half bath, and technical area. This bulk extends itself down to the backyard, diluting the limits between interior and exterior. Large gl، panels that can be fully retracted inwards are responsible for the closing of the ،rizontal plans, benefitting the air circulation and the amount of light that enters the ،e.
Furthermore, the panels create a connection with the exterior area, where the laundry and outdoor kitchen are located. Along with the kitchen, a metallic pergola extends the usable ،e into an outdoor living area full of light and ventilation.
The upper floor comprises three suites – two positioned to the front façade and the other to the back – and a cozy living room for the family that ،izes access to the suites. Above that, a third floor, constructed to ،st an office, a small gym, and a sauna, is placed close to the open-air elevated swimming pool, with a privileged view of the famous Ibirapuera park.
The ،use was designed as an active façade. The curtain wall of milky gl، is composed of fixed panels that take turns with bi-folded windows that protect the bedrooms and filter the sunlight. On the side façade, the rhythmic design of the gl، panels with different grades of opacity enhances the quality of light and shadow within the ،e. Such maneuver provides thermal quality to the ،use, which also disposes of a cistern for water reuse and p،tovoltaic plates for higher energy efficiency.
