Located amidst the lush vegetation of Ubatuba, on the northern coast of São Paulo, the ISA Residence was designed as a 250m² summer home on a 500m² lot, which enhances the surrounding nature and offers a refuge of sophistication and comfort.

The project stands out for its choice of natural materials such as wood, stone and large glass panels, creating a perfect integration between the indoor and outdoor spaces. "The idea was to create a space that would bring maximum tranquility, harmony and contact with nature, offering residents a home for leisure moments, but with comfort and sophistication", explains the architect responsible for the project.

The two-story residence was built to optimize cross ventilation and natural lighting. One of the biggest challenges was the narrow, long lot, which was overcome by bringing the garden into the living room, creating a continuous visual connection with the surrounding greenery.

Large eaves were incorporated to ensure thermal comfort, while the outdoor area has a balcony, deck and sauna, creating the perfect environment for relaxation. In addition, the garden is a link with the extensive preserved green area that leads to the river, offering residents the opportunity to row to the beach. "The proposal for the project was to create fluid spaces, where the areas connect organically, and at the same time ensure that the house had the necessary privacy, without losing the connection with the greenery and the surroundings", says the architect.

The residence has a ground floor dedicated to the social area, with an integrated kitchen and spaces that open onto the garden and pool deck. There is also an accessible suite, which was requested by the clients. The upper floor houses 3 spacious suites, all with large windows that provide privileged views of the treetops and the green area. The master suite has a balcony with views of the pool and vegetation.
