Ribeirão Preto Residence

A young couple with two children desired a home that displayed their passion for art. We combined glass and raw concrete with warm wood to create a unique, modern residence where the family could enjoy their art collection.

As it was situated on a sloping terrain, we segmented the home into two different volumes. The social volume is placed at the highest point of the site, creating a shield for the private volume, located at the lowest point. A concrete pool creates a connection from both volumes and provides the family a breathtaking view when they wish to take a swim.
