Casa Triângulo (Triangle House) is shaped directly by its site geometry.
Set in a former summer residential area in Valinhos, Brazil, the house occupies a 1,000 sqm triangular plot surrounded by mountains and dense vegetation. The project responds by inverting the site’s geometry, placing the longest façade along the street to open the front garden while preserving a more private internal garden.
A steel structure enables a clear and lightweight composition. A 40-meter fully glazed façade is supported by only four primary columns, with cantilevers exceeding 10 meters extending the volume horizontally over the landscape. The result is a transparent and elevated architecture defined by structural efficiency and spatial openness.
The ground floor is organized as a continuous living space centered around a double-height volume, fully connected to the garden through floor-to-ceiling glazing. This visual continuity extends vertically to the upper walkway, which distributes four suites.
Two opposing terraces define the upper level—one social, one private—complemented by a home office with a secluded garden, a kitchen integrated between living zones, and a wellness area with sauna opening to the landscape.
Casa Triângulo is an exercise in structural clarity and spatial continuity, where architecture frames the landscape through precision and restraint.
