Text description provided by the architects. This project is composed by three structures placed in a 2200 sqm garden, in a residential neighborhood in São Paulo.
The main construction is a pavilion for the exhibition and storage of an important private contemporary and modern Brazilian art collection.
It is a simple volume, with 5.5 m wide by 28 m long, made by two concrete walls and a steel structure as a roof. Besides a central rounded skylight, a gap between the roof and the walls allows for natural lightning. The pavilion has two different floor-to-ceiling heights.
The second structure is a concrete cube that houses a guest room in two levels.
As a complementary structure there is an irregular wooden grid covered by glass, supported by only three steel columns, that covers an area of 80 sqm.
