Sao paulo-based practice UNA arquitetos have just shared with designboom images of their 'house in sao bento do sapucai,' a single family residence in a gentle sloping site. the ground level is characterized by a concrete shear wall construction that wraps around forming an almost closed circle around a courtyard. transparent vertical planes of glazing allow views through the living and dining rooms and kitchen shaded by the horizontal roof plane and separated by parallel vertical partitions. the other end of the residence is embedded into the hillside and contains a lineal organization of program including storage, bathroom, and a staircase to the rooftop deck. a wooden rectangular volume is supported perpendicularly to the foundation structure, elevated off the roof terrace to house the private bedrooms with several apertures extending views to the landscape. the supporting structure for the elevated mass is kept on the outside of the roof, leaving the interior free of imposing beams. the overlapping of forms displays a dynamic relationship between spaces that fluidly circulate into one another.
