GGL House / Detached house

Located in São Paulo, the GGL House was built on a long and narrow plot of land. The design needed to maximize the space of this urban parcel. The layout comprises a basement, ground floor, an upper floor and a solarium on the roof. The design strives to be new and surprising but also respects the architectural style of neighboring buildings. The GGL House reinterprets the traditional home: insulating vertical slats are a nod to the gable roof. These create a box-like silhouette highlighting both open and closed spaces and enclose the upper floor and solarium.
