Adult and sculptural trees fill the central portion of this 14,000 m² plot of land in the

Fazenda Boa Vista condominium, in the countryside of São Paulo. The drop, which

at first glance is delicate, assumes important proportions when we consider the

entire extension of the territory.

These two elements - the trees and the unevenness - are the basis of the lot

occupation strategy. With an extensive program, the house spreads out over the

space, embraces the vegetation and creates opportunities for diverse paths and

landscapes. Straight lines run through the terrain and delimit a park in its core. The

slope adds volume to these lines, which become stone gables that reveal the

topography and support pavilions that are attached to them. These same stone

gables, as they enter the main body of the house, provide continuity to the

landscape design and help organize the program together with other

complementary, exposed concrete plans.

The wood, a third material, is added as a great covering plan. The wood, concrete

and stone are gently separated from each other, reinforcing gaps through which

one can pass or see between them.

Eventually, besides the small pavilions distributed around the ground, next to the

stone gables, a large pavilion perches above the main block, defining the upper floor

with rooms. It is orthogonal, guided by the geometry of the gables to the point of

forming an expressive overhang in the courtyard between the floor blocks of the

house.

The continuity between the internal and external spaces, characterized by the

existence of several planes that organize the object and the landscape, reinforces

the existence of patios of different sizes, where large sculptures demonstrate the

clients appreciation for Brazilian art - also seen inside the house.
