On a corner lot in Jardim Europa, São Paulo, a residence of over 16,150 sq ft rises above the treetops. The glass pavilion with a laminated wood structure forms the central volume crowning the construction, dividing it into two blocks: the social block, connected to the veranda that opens onto the backyard and pool on the ground floor, and the private block, where the family’s living areas and the service core are positioned at the rear of the plot.

Balancing the polarity created between the two programmatic blocks, P483 proposes an interior design and decor that, on one hand, engages with the transparency and lightness of the architecture housing the social spaces, and on the other, employs a wide range of colors, materials, and textures to imprint the residents’ personalities onto the spaces, making the private areas of the residence more welcoming.

The spacious rooms designed for social gatherings are characterized by a Cartesian spatial composition, the formal restraint of objects, and a sense of horizontality. These spaces are animated primarily by the gray marble veins covering the gourmet area’s countertop and the stone applied to the flooring. A sobriety that is counterbalanced by the surrounding greenery and the warmth of the wooden structure. In contrast, within the private block, wood takes center stage, cladding walls that display artworks of various sizes, colors, and shapes. This approach extends to the choice of furnishings, which include both classics of modern Brazilian design, such as the Gio armchair by Sergio Rodrigues and the Marquesa bench by Oscar Niemeyer, and striking 21st-century pieces like the Moon System sofa by Zaha Hadid.

Despite the distinctions that mark the residence’s different uses, P483 maintains an internal coherence achieved through spatial compositions defined by a clear distinction between figure and background. Even in spaces with a large number of elements, layered textures, or color contrasts, each element appears to occupy a place that clearly distinguishes it from its background and surrounding objects.

However, the residence’s program included a surprise: in the basement, a dark-walled corridor lined with photographs leads to a nightclub. Featuring a bar, dance floor, and a bathroom independent from the rest of the house, the space receives a completely distinct treatment. The clear distinction between figure and background gives way to a playful collage of timeless references, creating an irreverent reinterpretation of Adolf Loos’s old American Bar. Burgundy walls adorned with boiseries, flooring composed of different colored woods in a diagonal pattern, and a collection of objects, artworks, and furniture mixing abstraction and figuration are all reflected in the ceiling, which is entirely covered with crumpled metal sheets, creating what appears to be a water mirror surface floating above the space.
