M.M. House is a private residence designed by Andrade Morettin Arquitetos Associados and is located in São Roque, SP, Brazil.

The house is situated on a lot of 37.700 square feet with dense forest vegetation, in the surroundings of the city of São Paulo. The privileged geography of the place – a true amphitheatre with access at the higher part – suggests an occupation that respects its natural characteristics.
For this reason we started with the creation of a platform that would define the human presence upon the territory, in contrast with the natural environment.
This platform of reinforced concrete was cut and folded, adapting it to the site and creating distinct functional regions. In the west wing a swimming pool and external living space were created. In between the two wings, protected by a suspended volume of exposed concrete, we situated the living room and kitchen, integrated in one and the same space. This suspended volume is the intimate area of the house, with three bedrooms at the north- and the suite for the couple at the south façade, separated by a large glass roof for zenith lighting throughout the full width of the volume.

A.B. House is a private residence designed by Andrade Morettin Arquitetos Associados and is located in São Paulo, Brazil.

This house, located in a green residential district in the city of São Paulo, takes advantage of its privileged condition, turning its integration with the nature into its distinctive trace. All its spaces maintain a clear relation with the 1,500 square-meter park in which they are inserted.
On the ground floor, the social spaces are located under the shade of the upper volume of the house, connected to the gardens through a terrace and the glass sliding doors – that can be totally moved to the side, creating a 14-meteropening.
The upper volume, conceived as a translucent box, shelters the rooms and other spaces that require greater privacy.
The structure of the glass volume was conceived in such way that it seems to float above the garden, supported by the central pillar made of reinforced concrete, that also shelters the main staircase to the upper floor. The connection between the horizontal plans and this supporting pillar is strengthened by the creation of voids around the box of concrete, which are also used to bring natural light from the roof to the interior of the house.
The upper volume is closed by a skin made of silkscreen-printed glass that works as a filter of sunlight. The print that composes the silkscreen works as a reverberation of the image of the park on the surface of the house, strengthening the interdependence between the architectural object and nature.
