Designed to receive a family living abroad, the country house in the interior of São Paulo needed to accommodate them during long seasons in Brazil. Located in Quinta da Baroneza, with 1,100m², the challenge was, in addition to thinking about the program for prolonged uses, solving the implantation in the very inclined terrain.

Exterior: A concrete block structure is wrapped in a secondary timber batten skin, with the locally sourced timber creating a warm and tactile materiality that creates a subtle juxtaposition in external finishes. Interior: A focus on unique and hand-crafted finishes is evident throughout – the hand-seeded terrazzo at ground level and oak parquetry to upper levels accentuate the highly considered palette throughout the home. Exposed concrete ceilings and carefully sourced granite, quartzite and travertine provide robust yet rich surfaces, which are accentuated by flourishes of colour and a curation of playfully sophisticated furniture pieces and d contemporary abstract art
