This project began with the purchase of a charming 1940s house in Jardim Luzitânia, a long-held dream for the family. The client approached me with the desire to preserve the soul of the house, honoring its original spirit and bringing back the atmosphere of an old, lively home where she, her husband, their twin sons, and their dog Amora could live comfortably. Right at the beginning, we removed a structural wall that divided the living room, expanding the space and creating a more natural connection between the living area, the staircase, and the kitchen. This opening completely transformed the social area, bringing fluidity and light.

The featured house was built in 1971 near to Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo. Due to the lack of access to natural light, it was dark inside. It was compartmentalized and there was an excess of rooms and doors making the spaces isolated and with no ventilation. In addition, the side setbacks were also small and had high boundary walls. A big challenge was to bring light and ventilation to the family's living spaces on the ground floor. The main proposal was to tear down all the internal walls making the ground floor a unique and integrated environment. The first difficulty was physically locating the pillars, knowing where the foundations were and the stability of the ground since that, from the original construction, we had only a simplified layout plan that had already been modified.
