Project: Casa Sandra and Pérsio (2010)

Client: Sandra and Pérsio
Site: Araras, São Paulo, Brazil
Size: 450m²

The house of Sandra and Pérsio is located in a luxurious condomínio in Araras on a 450m² plot. We were asked to design the house with two caracteristics: on one side it had to be cosy and modest for the daily use of the couple, but on the other side it had to be a place where their entire family could unite during weekends and holidays. We used the natural profil of the terrain to divide the house in 3 parts. On the groundfloor we put the access and the private rooms of the couple. A ´ramp-stairs´ (a stairs with 1m deep steps) leads down to the common area, with a large livingroom dividable over 3 spaces, and the kitchen, a tv-room and a sportsroom. All spaces are integrated with the garden, which has a pool and a barbeque-area. Third part of the house is a ´bed and breakfast´ containing 4 seperated rooms with bathroom, situated on the ground- and first floor. All suites have a small exterior space, and a winding stairs connects them to the livingroom.
