This grand home in Itu was design by São Paulo based architecture firm Consuelo Jorge. The clean lines of the geometric volumes have been complimented by soft and whimsical landscaping. Marrying functionality with a meticulous attention to detail, the architects aim to craft high quality and elegant spaces The firm has been recognised for their conscious approach to architecture and focus on sustainability, through employing appropriate technology, local materials and resources. Now, let's take a look through this spectacular home!

The front facade

The design sought to integrate beautifully with the landscape which was designed by Alex Hanazaki. Glass walls reveal different vistas which showcase the magical gardens created by Alex. At the front façade, a green wall draws those arriving toward the front entry where a beautiful wood panel door beckons entry. 

Opening to the garden

The other side of the home opens onto the garden and expresses a very geometric and elegant elevation. Concrete and white finishes are artfully alternated in the various volumes. The glazing has been located to, both, offer incredible views of the garden and compose a refined facade. 

The magnificent outdoor area

The house opens onto an impressive patio. Lounge seating is shaded by the overhang and provides a respite from the summer heat. Complete with outdoor fireplace, a sunken sitting area and an infinity pool – there's not much more you could ask for in the way of outdoor living! 

Clean lines and elegant finishes

After entering, once steps into the large, open living space. The interior design of this home in was centered around creating a refuge for the family to spend the weekends together. They wanted a functional house with simple lines and practical finishes, but with a sophistication and modern expression of living. 

Division and connection

Contemporary furniture designed by prestigious designers was selected to reflect the sophisticated taste of the residents. Large sliding panels allow for the home theater space and the dining space to be separated or integrated depending on the current desires of the occupants.

Minimal kitchen

The kitchen, another locus of social gathering for the family, features a large island with an inset gas stove. Corian countertops in glacier white give the space a sleek and minimal aesthetic. The Spoon stools in orange are from Kartell and add a brilliant accent in the white space.

The barbecue area

The kitchen opens to the outside area where a gourmet barbecue awaits entertaining in the warmer months. Creating a seamless transition, the space feels simultaneously inside and outside. Here, the white gives way to an all black aesthetic which is set against the natural timbers.
