Sumaré House - Exterior

The brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld designed this house for a graphic designer in São Paulo with a studio situated below street level opening into a garden.

Called Sumaré House and completed in 2007, the two-storey house features a studio and a long étagère to display the owners work.

The project also includes a space for ballet and a swimming pool on the upper floor, next to the clients bedroom.

With intense care for details, the Sumaré House, is a perfect example for open minded clients that can materialize in open spaces, and a improved lifestyle overall. Although the finishing materials are not what you can call “expensive” what the architect created with them yells out “style”.

This is a 4-level house built for a family of 4 – a couple and 2 teenage kids. Very informal people, they wanted a warm, comfortable house where they could all host friends and have fun together. From the street a few steps up, one enters the house on ground level. Wide living areas – sitting, dining and TV rooms – were designed all in succession and open onto the garden, the patio and even the pool so as to allow for full integration between spaces, and interaction between guests. Privacy is yet possible to get in this house, as large doors may slide out from recesses in the walls and separate rooms as necessary.
