CONTEXTO

The house is in a central district of São Paulo, with an expressive density of vegetation. The 430 square-meter plot is marked by the presence of a fruit tree of almost five decades, a "jabuticaba" tree. Other large trees, Tipuanas, Queen Palms, Palm Trees and Pitanga Trees were already there on the edges of the plot.

ACTUACIÓN

The children's bedrooms receive the morning sun, on the same facade on which a fold in the concrete wall defines the entrance to the house. The concrete continues to draw the entire perimeter, opening some gaps, which integrate the lateral gardens to the interior of the house, this bark is only interrupted inside the lot. In these amply glazed faces, the house embraces the "jabuticaba" tree forming a small patio facing almost all ambiances, balcony, living room, dining room, kitchen, studio and bedroom. The inflections of the two wings seeking approximate views of the tree, also define views of themselves, like two small houses looking at each other. The patio is the core of the house; it relates internal and external spaces, vegetation and construction. A unique spatiality in everyday life. The morning light broadly illuminates the front face of the house, which remains patterned by the shade of the large trees that occupy the public walk. The patio is illuminated by the afternoon sun, filtered through the tree crowns, especially the "jabuticaba" tree. There is also a lacy shadow drawn on the patio floor, in the interior of the house, in all the opaque planes of the two facades that draw the patio, on the coloured panels, and the large wooden shutters.
