Architect Barbara Dundes renovated home in Brazil of the brazilian soccer player Paulo Henrique Ganso

Barbara Dundes ARQ + DESIGN as Architects

Chosen to be a home for a family with three children, the house of 730m², was an old construction, in São Paulo, and it was not according to the residents’ style. At that time, the brazilian architect Barbara Dundes, proposed a reform which could tell stories in every ambient, and bring new experiences to the family formed of Giovanna Costi and the soccer player Paulo Henrique, known as Ganso, and three children: Henrico, Stella and Maria Victoria. Nowadays, Ganso plays for Fluminense, but has already played for teams like Santos (Brazil), São Paulo (Brazil), Sevilla (Spain) and Amiens (France).

Integration was the word guiding the project, bringing less walls to the environments and more natural lighting. The architect's idea was a reform for revolution, through connection of spaces, the protagonist of the stairs design from the office as a masterpiece, use of wood, light tones, lots of green and the strength of the design present in every corner.

In the kitchen, the closets in gray pass modernity, on living the highlight is about the sofa and the glass tear where the landscaping proposed by landscape designer Bia Abreu can be observed. The walls of the gourmet area and home theater were covered in wood, bringing warmth to the ambience. In suite, the bed is the real protagonist in the way of other dark tones around.
