What should foreign architects do when building in São Paulo? The local modernism is outstanding; thus, the natural approach was to seek inspiration from the "Paulista" masters like Paulo Mendes da Rocha and Vilanova Artigas. Consequently, the concept was developed from the earliest stages with concrete as the primary material and character. This materiality serves as the home’s soul, while the two internal courtyards within the living room acted as the true starting point.

The structure utilizes a concrete grid of beams and walls to shape the house, which is embedded smoothly into the terrain. This gesture creates split levels and internal courtyards that dominate the living core, connecting the three principal blocks. While the social areas flow toward the backyard pool, the master bedroom features a private terrace facing south. This allows the dwellers to enjoy the expansive views of Avaré from a perfectly synchronized space
