Located on a plot of land with irregular contours, the house in Vila Madalena emerges as a concrete monolith, which crumbles as it relates to the plot. On the upper floor, strategic openings serve the rooms, both front and back. On the first floor, a bold movement of the structure balances the building in two directions, all anchored by a staircase/pillar that precisely transfers the load to the ground.

When you explore the interior, the wood reveals itself, adorning the walls and ceilings. This ceiling occasionally shines with light from pergolas or skylights. In the space of the plot, the house unfolds: base, living room, veranda and rest areas.

As if playing with the rigidity of the concrete and trying out a very integrated social area, one of the side façades slopes down diagonally towards the floor - an attempt at a delicate gesture - which actually hides a foundation with very specific characteristics, required to support the load of the upper floor. To keep in the light and protect the living room from rain or wind, u-glass panels have been positioned in negative form to the concrete.

Designed for a young family, it is surprising in size, taking advantage of the slope to structure three levels of use: social and service area on the access level, office, gym and playroom on the lower level and, finally, bedrooms on the second floor, offering views of the treetops and privacy.

Seemingly sober on the outside and with a certain brutalist essence, internally it is embraced by wood, which is present throughout the social area, and is gradually diluted by some elements in the bedrooms and more private areas.
