São Paulo, 2024. With a clear intention to create a retreat in São Paulo that strayed from the urban style and concrete of their previous apartment, the commissioning family desired a home that resembled a country house. The design of this 400 m² residence, developed by Suíte Arquitetos, was conceived to be a family home connected to nature, featuring an organic aesthetic and integrated spaces that prioritize conviviality and well-being.

From the outset, the brief indicated the need for a functional home that could accommodate the daily life of a couple with two children, while also offering spaces to host friends and family. The integration of environments was fundamental. The connection between the living room and the veranda, which opens onto a lush garden, reflects the desire for constant contact with greenery, providing moments of tranquility and interaction with nature.
