Astonishing discovery: A lavish garden residence found in the heart of Sao Paulo
Transforming an Existing Property into a Green Urban Oasis: The Residência GGL Garden House
In the bustling city of São Paulo, a hidden gem has emerged - the Residência GGL garden house. Designed by the emerging architecture studio Kika Camasmie Arq, this project brilliantly merges indoor and outdoor living spaces.
The transformation of an existing property into a lush green urban oasis is the central focus of this project. A key element in achieving this is a wooden pergola structure that gracefully defines the transition between the house's interior and the landscaped garden. This timber frame not only encapsulates breathtaking views but also creates open-air living spaces, such as terraces and pathways, that effortlessly connect the garden with the home's indoors [1][2].
The design prioritizes spaces that are perfect for relaxation, socializing, and experiencing nature. The home boasts numerous sunlit areas ideal for long summer afternoons, making it ideal for relaxing on sunny days, hosting friends, or simply slowing down during the summer months [2].
The architecture of the Residência GGL also emphasizes cross ventilation and an abundance of natural light. This openness to the outdoors creates a fluid spatial experience between the inside and outside, fostering a sense of unity between the two [2].
This contemporary approach to design reflects a reinterpretation of Brazil’s traditional indoor/outdoor lifestyle, seamlessly integrating architecture and nature. This fusion feels both fresh and deeply rooted in local modernist influences [2].
In essence, the Residência GGL uses timber structures and carefully planned open spaces to frame views and movement, facilitate natural light and ventilation, and foster a strong connection between the green garden and the indoors. The result is a tranquil, inviting home that feels like it lives in a world of liminal spaces, nestled discreetly within the heart of São Paulo.
The Residência GGL garden house offers a new iteration of the indoor/outdoor lifestyle genre, blending the indoors and outdoors to create a harmonious living space that evokes thoughts of Brazil's lush, biodiverse jungles and wild nature.
The Residência GGL showcases a modern take on Brazil's traditional interior-design lifestyle, harmoniously connecting the indoor spaces with the lush garden, broadening the home's lifestyle to include home-and-garden living. With a focus on relaxation and socializing, this project offers numerous sunlit areas ideal for lounge, creating a seamless transition between the house's interior and the landscaped garden.
