The original Һouse dated from tҺe 60’s, is located in Moema, São Paulo, a trɑditionaƖ ɑnd very green neighbourhood, close to tҺe Ibirapueɾa Park. The new Ɩanguage estɑblished by the ɾemodelling, appears initiaƖƖy in the externɑl wall. Elements in concrete ɑnd black metal comρletely modified tҺe appeaɾance of the entrance. On the front facade of the house tҺe choice made was the U-gƖass systeм wҺιch allows the entrance of light as weƖl as ιt guarantees pɾivacy. Punctuɑl openings with conventional fɾɑmes have brought the garden to the inner part of the house.
.The volume of the front had its carved replaced by a slab, and for that reason the necessity of metallic reinforcements. The original volume of he house was maintained in the renovation, but internally there was a complete restructuring of the spaces: kitchen, laundry and TV roomwere transferred to new spaces. This decision permitted the new proportions to be more appropriate to the uses of the new residents.

The choice of the colors for the walls and beams – white and black – guarantees contrast and sobriety to the volumetry. Granilite flooring, concrete benches, as well as the fixed elements made of light or white painted timbers also guarantee this effect. Little touches of color can also be seen in the veranda and in the kitchen, which are the spaces where the family enjoy getting together.
.The design of the ladder was specially elaborated from the client’s request, meaning lightness and transparency to the main circulation area of the house. Metal plates have been attached to the rods which raise up from the floor to the ceiling. Fixed on metal plates, the steps are made of an ebanized effect wood. On the upper deck, the bedrooms and bathrooms were completely restructured. The same principles of contrast among materials and colors were maintained.
