Text description provided by the architects. Located in Barueri, the RZ Residence was conceived based on the challenge of implanting the residence on a terrain with a more than seventeen meters drop, and a privileged view of the horizon. Thus, the project considers the relationship of balance and opposition between architecture, topography, and landscape, with volumes that sometimes rest directly on land, and sometimes modified. Taking account of the unevenness of the terrain, the construction was developed on four different levels. Despite the fragmentation, the residence volumetry, built of metallic and concrete structure, becomes light and fluid because of its horizontal lines which are reinforced by prolonged eaves and the relationship between full and empty spaces.
