Parallel House

This 463-square-metre house, built in the 1980s in Sao Paulo, Brazil, sits in the heart of a traditional neighbourhood. Considering the arrival of the children, the desire of the future occupants was to adapt the building of the house to their lifestyle. The house provides an ideal solution for the family, but with a fully partitioned plan. The architects chose to increase the empty span and integrate the space. From the very beginning it was decided to use all the possibilities of the existing building. 

The original ceiling was wooden and very low, but the removal revealed a beautiful structure of concrete beams. From this element, a series of columns were created, covering the entire outer area of the building, creating a very special geometry and giving it its name, the parallel house. Another characteristic of the architects was the small amount of material used in the decoration. In this house, all floors are made of semi-polished white granite, including the swimming pool. The exposed concrete structure was updated with polymer cement paint, while the steel strip containing the exterior design was painted in a graphite tone.

The highlight of the leisure area is the landscaping designed by the couple and Guilhermes' good friend Alex Hanazaki. "We work very well together, and that's evident in this house. The landscaping USES only three species because the goal is to enhance and harmonize with the building, "says Guilherme. In the living room area, after the removal of the wooden ceiling, the previously poorly lit space has been given ample natural light. The furniture and interior design are designed by Guilherme. The biggest surprise of the move: the owner found out she was pregnant with twins! Fate works in an interesting way, the children were born on the day of the shooting. It's in sync from start to finish!
