IN SEARCH OF LIGHT
The house is located in the West part of São Paulo, in a large and sloping plot, from which one sees the Pinheiros river valley and part of the Villa Lobos Park. This natural path for the eyesight was the direction chosen by architect Monica Drucker to guide the project development for a bachelor businessman's residence, in an unleveled lot with an area of almost 2 thousand m². "To avoid the neighboring tall walls and houses we directed our sight and large openings to the free horizon, towards the park," she explains. This strategy generated a multiple floor building set in one of the highest parts of the property, ready to receive abundant light and air. The single volume reveals each floor by the presence of large metal beams signaling the passages from one floor to the other. These lines cross different materials, glass, masonry and stones, configuring a home at times robust, at other times diaphanous, in a programmed play of openings and enclosures. The floor in the living, dining rooms and kitchen - the largest and key ambiances of the house - leads to the garden and swimming-pool, with a ceiling height of a little over 5 m, sufficiently generous to allow the Southeastern light in. That is the justification for the large glass panes structured by robust, brown painted, aluminum frames, as well as the entire apparent metal structure. The entire space is oriented towards the outside, beyond the garden, until reaching the swimming-pool rims leading to the horizon.
