Village House / Peninsula Arquitetura

Susanna Moreira — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 15:00:00 +0000

Upon taking on the project and construction of the Village House, we encountered a building formed by the joining of two semi-detached houses, "regularized" by a superficial intervention that did not address the essential issues of the space. The initial diagnosis revealed a fragmented configuration, with compartments lacking a clear purpose, underutilized areas, and a staircase adapted to reach the upper floor, highlighting the lack of continuity between the parts. There were overlapping uses, unclear passages, and timid natural light that entered, unable to structure daily life. Our starting point was to restore logic and meaning to the whole, transforming two disconnected halves into a single organism.

The Península Arquitetura office developed the project and carried out the construction management for the renovation of Casa Ottoni, a residence designed in the 1970s by architects Dácio and David Ottoni, located in the Alto de Pinheiros neighborhood in São Paulo. The main objective of the intervention was to enhance the existing architectural features, respecting the original design while creating ample, integrated, and functional spaces to meet the needs and desires of the new residents.

Teviot House / Peninsula Arquitetura

The zoning and typology of this plot with 10 meters in front, where the guideline was to build a 300m2 house with a leisure area on the roof, brought us a challenge to seek the verticalization of the construction in a harmonious way, bringing natural lighting and ventilation to the internal space.

House Dezoito / Peninsula Arquitetura

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 09:00:00 +0000

We were called to order the renovation of this house for a couple and their three children. Their professional life, focused on the financial market, demands a lot of energy, in a stressful and bureaucratic environment. They wanted a drastic change in lifestyle, so they asked us for a house that was fully integrated, with soft colors, light materials, and totally connected to green.

AJ Apartment / Peninsula Arquitetura

Andreas Luco — Thu, 11 Jun 2020 16:00:00 +0000

The open floor plan and the raw finishes provided by the construction company were identified as potential elements in the development of the project. The concrete slab and pillars, as well as the polished concrete floor, were kept natural. Since the beginning of the project, there was a strategy to intervene as little as possible in the construction and solve the spaces desired by the residents through the addition of only a few elements. A bathroom was built, transforming the dormitory into a suite, and some carpentry and metalwork elements were designed to meet the functional demands.

AM House / Peninsula Arquitetura

Andreas Luco — Sun, 07 Jun 2020 11:00:00 +0000

The original project signed by the architects Sylvio Sawaya and Edimilson Tinoco dates back to 1972. Over the years and after successive interventions, the construction gradually became uncharacterized. In 2017 we made a remodeling proposal respecting the main elements of the original project and added a leisure annex, resulting from the dialogue and demands of the current owners. The intervention in the house had three approaches: remodeling of the leisure area and garden, recovery of original elements of the project that were degraded and occasional reforms inside and outside the house.

Apartment of Vergalhões / Peninsula Arquitetura

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 11 Apr 2020 12:00:00 +0000

In the iconic neighborhood of Higienópolis, a reference in modernist buildings in São Paulo, this project stands out for the enhancement of space and its visual amplitude, for the natural light coming from the two large windows in the room, and for the combination of textures and materials selected to compose the spaces.

EM Apartment / Peninsula Arquitetura

In a dark apartment with almost none cross ventilation, we sought to transform the existing 3 bedroom (1suite) program, kitchen, service area and maid's dormitory into a large open living room that contained all the social functions combined with two compact and functional suites.
