“One thing is to live in a charming house, with a good roof where it doesn’t rain, strong and durable walls that withstand winds and the times of one and more lifetimes, with neat and spacious bedrooms, a large living room for family lunches and dinners with friends; a bright and functional kitchen; a garden with shrubs, grass, insects, birds, and flowers... Another thing is to breathe, live, reside, move, bathe, dream, and invite yourself and loved ones to be entirely within a work of art. That is intangible.” Th. S.
Project signed by the innovative and sensitive architect Ruy Ohtake, an excellent individual and a nationally and internationally renowned professional.
Excellent single-story house located on a quiet, tree-lined street in Brooklin Velho, São Paulo.
Well situated in relation to the outstanding foreign and national schools in the area, such as Colégio Suíço Brasileiro, Chapel, Rudolf Steiner, Lourenço Castanho, and Vértice, among others. Also close to shopping centers (Morumbi, Market Place, Ibirapuera) and local commerce (Mambo, Pão de Açúcar, Carrefour, Fonte Petrópolis, Brooklin’s street shops). It is also near Washington Luís Avenue, which provides access to Congonhas Airport; Roberto Marinho and Vicente Rao avenues.
The house features 367 m² of built area and 500 m² of land. The spaces are arranged with integrated living and dining rooms filled with natural light and a modern fireplace, 3 bedrooms, including 1 suite, 4 bathrooms, integrated living and dining rooms with abundant natural illumination and a modern fireplace. The kitchen has an American-style counter and, characteristic of projects by the great architect Ruy Ohtake, this space, which proposes fascinating gastronomic alchemy, has a circular shape reminiscent of the fluid forms linked to Enso circles, symbolizing enlightenment, strength, elegance, the universe, and emptiness.
The bedrooms are very well distributed, bright, and airy due to cross ventilation and the house’s location in this green neighborhood.
Next to the bedrooms, there is a cozy room that can be used as a home office, library, support room, or TV room; it can also be converted into an additional bedroom.
The pool, featuring a charming bridge, has an organic shape and invites memories of the famous Nishikigoi carp, a fish symbolizing strength, persistence, bravery, and success.
Next to the bridge is a staircase leading to the solarium, where you can sunbathe, enjoy the view, and even set up a telescope to observe the moon and planets.
Crossing the bridge, you arrive at the internal garden, an excellent place to relax and host friends and family!
The house includes 4 garage spaces, a barbecue area, and a service area.
