A house by Uma architecture office in Alto de Pinheiros, 500 m² over three levels

In Alto de Pinheiros, a residence designed by the Uma architecture office integrates a garden, a swimming pool and a large Tipuana tree into the interior of the house. It has 500 m² of built area over three levels, on a ground plot of 820 m². On the lower level, an integrated living area brings together three connecting rooms: the sitting room has a fireplace facing the garden, and the floor is completed by a guest toilet, a dining room and a kitchen with perobinha-wood cabinetry, a stainless steel island, a gourmet area. Staff quarters and a kennel sit discreetly on the ground floor. On the upper floor, the TV room opens onto a large terrace. There are four bedrooms, all en-suite with a walk-in closet, air conditioning, floor-to-ceiling window frames and automated blinds, with a private terrace; the fourth, currently an office, opens fully onto the upper terrace. From the TV room one reaches the rooftop with a hot tub, enclosed by glass doors and blinds that open fully and merge with the roof garden, with a view of the tree canopy of the square and the neighbourhood's sunset. The doors of the house run floor to ceiling; the floors of the living rooms, bathrooms and kitchen are in marble, those of the bedrooms and closets in perobinha wood. Outside, an ample lawn and a swimming pool.
