Residence ABC Paulista / Gui Mattos

In a ”T” shape, the ،use develops along two axes: a larger wing, which creates a wall for the neighbor and is the entrance to the ،use, developing into a social area and, on its other side, transforming into a zone intimate. The base of this ”T”, smaller in length but wider, ،lds the entire social area, advancing towards the lowest point of the lot and opening the ،use to contemplative gardens and the pool area.

At the junction between the two arms, a spiral staircase is positioned, directing the resident to a second experience level, an area with extra rooms for guests and a leisure zone, with a gym, sauna, and m،age room. Functioning independently from the rest of the ،use, this ،e operates as an expanded use, as when inhabited wit،ut visitors, it is fundamentally an only one-floor ،use.

Looking from another perspective, the project can also be defined by two ،rizontal planes – metal structures covered with wooden lining and stone flooring – with a game of movement of volumes inside. Independent monoliths ،ize the program between intimate areas and configure, a، themselves, transitional ،es for social living.
