Dedicated to design and handicraft of Brazil, A Casa Museum building was designed with analogies to these issues, either by use of structural frames, either by choice of materials with more rustic appearance. A Casa Museum in Sao Paulo, was located in corner lot, with a height difference between streets equivalent to a ordinary building floor, taking advantage of this condition to ensure use flexibility to its owner. In the upper floor, with access from Tamanás street, is the double height exhibition space. Ground floor, connected to Pedroso de Moraes Avenue, is a rental space for events - an important income source for museum - this room is open to a private garden, which ensures natural lighting and versatility to environment. The two main floors are visually integrated. Physically, a retractable stair works as a “door” between these levels: lowered, allowing the passage from one level to another, lifted, is parallel to ground floor ceiling, preventing the rising upstairs. We take into account also the environment which it belongs: the landscape design extends the limits of intervention in an adjacent open area, creating a new “square” in the neighborhood and redeveloping the existing one. An external staircase transposes the height difference between the streets. This element was designed to solve more than its original purpose,
serving as bench for resting or stand for artistic performances. A design that starts with art in their
DNA could not leave it during first movements on works: the temporary siding is an artistic intervention,
designed by artist Guto Lacaz as huge interactive panel. The work is also recorded in timelapse, fertile material for contemporary art expressions.
