This project was designed for an artist with a double program; home and studio, which had to be resolved spatially and functionally separate.

Ground floor.
First level.
Studio floor.
Roof floor
Cross section.
Longitudinal section.
It was built on a corner plot with a very steep, with 10 m. on average between the highest and lowest. The project, however, has spectacular views: quiet and tree-lined streets, a panoramic view of the Tiete River valley, which is the main river in the city of São Paulo. To provide simplicity and convenience to home life, the house had raised in its entirety with a small program on one level. Regardless of the plant, this level was suspended and made with glass enclosure to enjoy the surroundings.

Fernando de Mello Franco, Marta Moreira, Milton Braga. MMBB
MMBB Arquitetos was founded in 1991 as a result of the association of the architects Fernando de Mello Franco, Marta Moreira and Milton Braga, graduated in the FAU-USP (FAU) between 1986 and 1987. The association with engineering consultancy companies has been characterized by the development of infrastructure urban designs such as bus station terminuses and corridors, underground garage, highway toll places, pedestrian walkways, etc. The continuous collaboration with the architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha since 1995, in its turn, offers the opportunity to develop large scale designs to institutional and governmental bodies intended to cultural and educational activities and buildings to cater for the sector of services. Marta Moreira teaches in the School of the City and Milton Braga teaches in FAU, where he developed several researches about urban design and his master degree (1999) and doctorate (2006).
