Project: House at Braganca Paulista
Author: Affonso Risi

Location: São Paulo, Brazil
Builder: Eng. Lineu Botta de Assis
Landscape design: Rodolfo Geiser & Christiane Ribeiro

The residence project looks for clarity and functionality. The building is organized around a swimming pool patio overlooking the lake landscape. Interior and external spaces, in height and horizontal layout, utilize the lot rationally to resolve the house’s dynamics.

Transparency and fluidity of the architectural concept, with the L-shaped plan distributed in two linked blocks, includes in the extensive brief five bedrooms with exclusive bathrooms, a terrace, one reversible bedroom, living rooms, game room, veranda, TV room, working areas and staff accomodations. As far as space and layout are concerned, the smaller block’s top floor privileges the terraced master bedroom, which overlooks the lake.

Although the house is opened to the surroundings there are important details of privacy: a small garden placed in front of the linking body frame was devised to protect the internal area of the fireplace room, a double height room which includes the staircase and linking bridge between the bedroom blocks.

The sinuously designed window, right below this area’s slab roof, offers the view of the water and the mountains and keeps the interior privacy vis-à-vis the neighboring construction. The entire design is controlled by the Golden Section and the Fibonacci Series.
