Another gorgeous project in São Paulo, Brazil! The Bacopari House showcases an abundant amount of greenery and afforestation and builds upon existing vegetation - the landscape and house have been built in fluidity with the preexisting tall trees. Concrete, metallic support beams, wood and glass all make up the structure of the 504 sqm house, giving it definition and plenty of support.
The idea when building the house was to add transparency for its residence and to enable the ability to observe distant views. The garden and reflecting pool lead way to the first patio which opens into the double height living room, the dining room and the terrace. The second garden leads to a swimming pool and a playroom, which has an open plan.
There are stairs that connect the wine cellar in the basement to the upper floor which is at treetop level. This level accommodates a library which opens onto a patio and the living room. There are bedrooms on the second floor which have the best insolation in the house. Overall, the house was designed to blur the boundaries between the inside and outside whilst maintaing sectioned opened and closed spaces.
