Text description provided by the architects. Commissioned by a young couple and situated on a flat lot in São Paulo’s west side, the Blue House has generous and integrated spaces. The adoption of steel frame structure and precast slabs resulted in an increase of both efficiency and agility during construction. Columns and beams were used as part of the architectural concept as they show and hide in unusual ways. Sometimes they are hidden within the walls, as part of it, sometimes they are exposed, but set in an inner layer, behind windows and perimeter walls, permanently protected from the elements.
