The AMB House is situated on the coast of São Paulo, Guaruja City in the middle of the AtlanticForest. From the street you can only see one of the three floors of the house because the terrain hasaccentuated slopes that give different views of an almost untouched natural landscape.The most common situation, where the rooms are upstairs and social rooms are downstairs, wasreversed on the design of this residence. On the entrance of the house we have a hall that serves as amezzanine overlooking the double ceiling living room with proximally 6,00m height and wood frameglass windows with a view looking at the swimming pool and the forest. In the lateral of the hall, thebalcony outside is surrounded by large wooden bench, serving as a protection.In the intermediate floor are the social areas: the living room and dining room, which join the outdoorkitchen, outdoor deck and infinity swimming pool.Downstairs is the intimate area with five suites. It is this strategy of reversing the usual array of socialand intimate area that makes the rooms, even overlooking the sea, have the privacy afforded by thetrees that are at that level.The house can be called the balcony house with large glass panels that allow visual contact with thesurrounding areas of the residence and the natural landscape of the region. The windows of therooms have wooden Cumarú shutters .This wood is also present on the deck of the balconies andfloors of rooms. In the living room two bamboo plants sprout from the middle of the floor, bringingthe forest into the houseThis is how the house shows its relationship with the local landscape, barely visible through the denseforest in the access road, but grows and can be seen on the other side along with the look of acoastline and a stunning tropical forest.
