fgfm arquitetos design a home with expressive structure<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brazilian<\/strong><\/a> studio FGMF Arquitetos<\/strong><\/a> designs its Casa Aroeira to rise confidently from the slopes of Bragan\u00e7a Paulista. Set within a residential<\/strong><\/a> neighborhood outside S\u00e3o Paulo<\/strong><\/a>, the home occupies the higher portion of a steep corner lot, making full use of its elevated position. From here, the views open toward surrounding farmland, while the building maintains a discreet relationship with its neighbors and the street below.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rather than contending with the incline, the architects embraced it. Casa Aroeira meets the street at two distinct levels \u2014 pedestrian access slips in from the side, while vehicles descend to the lower edge. This dual entry supports the house\u2019s layout across two linear floors. The ground level accommodates the social and service spaces, along with two guest bedrooms. Above, the private quarters retreat into a more intimate register, still oriented toward the panoramic view.<\/p>\n

casa Aroeira\u2019s Transparency is Framed by Solidity<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

At its core, Casa Aroeira takes form through its structure as the team<\/strong><\/a> at FGMF Arquitetos approaches the residence as an exercise in clarity. Exposed concrete pillars, beams, and slabs are expressive of their materiality to serve as not just support but as architectural expression. The main volume is defined by a rhythm of round columns and tall, slender walls, their materiality consistent throughout. These elements hold the upper floor while also delineating the suites, giving mass to the otherwise open layout.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the concrete lends permanence, transparency is achieved through large sliding glass panels. These define the social spaces without enclosing them, allowing the main floor to extend seamlessly toward the landscape. The transitions between living areas and terraces are fluid, as the structure opens toward the pool and beyond, always acknowledging the horizon.<\/p>\n

Planes of Movement and Pause<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

FGMF Arquitetos\u2019 Casa Aroeira meets the uneven terrain with layered horizontality. External circulation unfolds across offset planes, shaping the arrival sequence, water features, patios, and platforms. The pool appears suspended, hovering slightly above grade, its long edge drawing the eye outward. These gestures negotiate the slope while enhancing the sense of stillness and repose.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Material choices feel direct. Glass, concrete, stone, and wood are left close to their natural state. This decision underscores a desire to let the environment speak. Inside and out, the palette remains subdued, allowing the shifting light and surrounding vegetation to give color to the architecture. Behind the open gestures, the plan protects what must remain private. Service areas are tucked to the rear, invisible from the main view corridors. Their placement ensures both discretion and functionality without complicating the overall form.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
