RENOVATED HOME GAINS SPACIOUS OUTDOOR AREAS, INVITING SOCIAL SPACES, AND WARM TONES
A young couple with a baby approached Goiva Arquitetura to transform a residence in Vila Madalena, São Paulo. Their main desire was to live in a home with inviting social spaces and expansive outdoor areas—something they missed while living in an apartment. They also wanted an integrated kitchen, a complete renovation of the master bedroom, a bedroom for their child, a home office, and an independent room for use as a psychology practice.
The project’s primary goal was to optimize the home's three floors, creating welcoming and multifunctional living spaces. On the ground floor, the reorganization of spaces began with a new entrance at the center of the facade, resulting in a continuous living and dining area. A more private TV room was incorporated into the space, along with a small office.
The kitchen was transformed into a large organic island, surrounded by all necessary support elements, integrating seamlessly with the living and dining areas to form the heart of the home, as requested by the residents.
On the upper level, a social terrace with a barbecue area and designed as a solarium was created for family gatherings and social events. The renovation also included a complete transformation of the master bedroom and the child’s bedroom, incorporating earthy tones and wood, harmonizing with the rest of the home’s décor. The bathrooms were modernized with new finishes, neutral tones, and wood, making them more welcoming and elegant.
In the basement, the previously built-up area was replaced by a garden that connects to the bedrooms. This courtyard brings natural light to the surrounding spaces, particularly the bedrooms, which now enjoy a natural backdrop. External staircases encircle the garden, providing easy access to the home from the garage.
The entrance portico is one of the project's highlights, featuring a garden and a concrete structure that welcomes visitors to explore the residence.
The choice of materials and color palette draws inspiration from Mexican architecture, expressed through warm tones and natural textures. Earthy pink hues define the home’s color scheme, harmonized with corten steel elements and custom woodwork.
