Rectangular Prisms of the Planalto House in Brazil

Another lovely home seats in São Paulo, Brazil called the Planalto House. The house is comprised of two large perpendicular volumes marking the territory of the area. The private and intimate features of the house were located on the upper floor of a rectangular prism that is perpendicular to the street. Only half of the land is occupied by the structure since the other half was allocated for recreation and landscaping. On the main floor, another rectangular prism is seen that contains the service and social functions of the house.

The house can be accessed under the front overhand of the main floor leading to a 1.80 m wide corridor that connects various areas of the house. Once inside, an indoor pavilion and barbecue area will be seen. The main floor is covered with a garden terrace that blocks the garage and the recreation area. This can be accessed through the stairs located at the recreation area. Want to see how these areas look? Then scroll down and discover the Planalto House in Brazil.
