A 1950s residence in a charming village in Pinheiros. From the outset, the project's guiding principle was very clear: to preserve the facade that complements the other houses, but internally to requalify and transform the old residence.
To meet the client's demands, we sought to integrate the entire ground floor, connecting the spaces and creating a new kitchen that is integrated not only with the interior but also with the exterior and pool.
The solution for this connection was the removal of the walls, using a metal structure, reinforcing the new structure of the house, achieving greater design freedom and creating new spaces, such as the TV room, powder room, in addition to new openings that bring more light and comfort to the residence.
In the back, a beautiful pool with a shallow area connecting to the kitchen was proposed, adding greater thermal comfort to the sunny and landscaped space. The integration of exterior/interior was the main concept of the project, always seeking to connect the entire ground floor of the house.
On the upper floor, the original space of the house contained 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. We designed it to maintain these environments, in addition to creating a master suite with a walk-in closet, shower, and bedroom for a queen-size bed.
This suite is located above the kitchen and seeks to take advantage of the garden and pool, connecting visually with a large window that frames the view.
The entire renovation was designed seeking a solution that maintains the historical characteristics of the village, but modernizing the use of the house and its interior spaces, bringing greater natural light, thermal comfort, and biophilia between the garden and its interior spaces.
