ATLÂNTICA HOUSE
Located in São Paulo, on a narrow and deep lot, the residence was conceived for a young couple, art collectors, and their four children. The project is guided by two premises: to house a contemporary collection and to create spaces for family life.
The structure of the house is organized through a grid, present on the façades and the central veranda. This internal patio provides natural light, also functioning as a breathing space while organizing circulation. The house closes itself to the sides, prioritizing privacy, and turns inward.
Distributed across four levels, the residence features a semi-buried basement with a side garden — the soul of the project, transforming the space into an area for play and gathering.
On the ground floor, the social areas bring together living, office, dining, and an open kitchen connected to the veranda and pool. The intermediate floor contains the couple’s suite facing the front of the lot, the children’s bedrooms at the back, and a family room with a study area.
The rooftop is dedicated to leisure and gathering: a solarium, dining area, and projection space. The house invites exploration. The children climb one staircase, descend another, ride their bikes down the ramp. Each movement opens new relationships between spaces.
The circulations create varied routes, both internal and external, making the house dynamic — they observe each other through the patio, generating a play of crossed gazes and unexpected encounters.
In the furniture, pieces previously used in other projects were restored and integrated with new selections. Works by Joaquim Tenreiro, Hans Wegner, and antiques acquired in Uruguay compose the set. In the office, the fabric wall covering and custom-designed bookshelf highlight the presence of the artworks.
Casa Atlântica brings together art, daily life, and family in a single space.
