Luxury Home With Indoor-Outdoor Family Living Spaces

Truly borderless indoor-outdoor family living has been achieved in this 1030 square metre house design, created by architect team Studio Guilherme Torres. Located in São Paulo, Brazil, the luxury home includes multiple living rooms that each link with a pool patio and green garden. Two of the lounges are sandwiched between the garden and a courtyard on the other side; the effect is a completely immersive experience of nature, wrapping the homeowners in perfect peace and tranquility. The interior is filled with an array of modern wall art and furniture, which is offset by some vintage pieces and family heirlooms, resulting in a unique and personal space.

A huge stone wall along the back of this property provides privacy from the street. This means that family life can comfortably flow between the interior and exterior spaces.

The house has been designed so that multiple living areas are fully integrated with the garden, so that indoor and outdoor activities link naturally without any thought of borders.

The white concrete exterior of the home appears to have an area of wood cladding, however, this is actually a run of wood slats that allow the sunlight to filter through into a first floor terrace.

As we look through the retractable doors and into one of the lounge areas of the home, we can see that a courtyard design has been situated at the back of the living room. This creates the feeling of being completely surrounded by nature, to provide a peaceful and revitalising effect.

The courtyard design allows more sunlight to tumble into the ground floor of the home.

The gateway to the home is concealed behind a sunny yellow panel to provide complete privacy.
