Located in a residential area of São Paulo, Brazil, the project concept for this 1280 square meter luxury home began with the pool. Designed by Matheus Farah + Manoel Maia Architecture, this luxurious home design centers around a huge pool that is visible from most rooms in the house, where the easy indoor-outdoor lifestyle is given. The architecture of Ibsen House was created to facilitate shared moments and connected living through impressive large sliding walls, while also providing intimate privacy. The most private space of the home is located underground, where special neon light and acoustic treatments form the Red Room, the best festive hiding place.
Retractable walls break up the large free plan living space, fully connecting the luxurious living room with the spacious pool terrace and gardens.
A volume of wood is suspended above the kitchen dining room. Its solid wooden facade is replaced by two sets of double shutters to reveal a modern home office space. To preserve the interrupted wooden block appearance, the ceiling of the home office is also entirely wooden. Bookcases draw color across the back wall.
In the evening, the vast vertical garden walls are illuminated to surround the open side home with abundant greenery even after dark. The tropical leaves grow a dramatic texture and shape to feather the edges of the linear modern architecture.
The open layout is a coordinated plan of color, materials, and connected operation that holds a close relationship with the external environment.
The layout has almost no fixed walls. The vertical gardens and large sliding panels divide the living spaces, creating quiet hybrid areas that cause cross-encounters.
At one end of the luxurious living room, a TV lounge is furnished with a massive bookshelf that blasts color into the gray-white and wood-toned decorative scheme. Deep blue accent pieces cause further disruption of the neutral palette, with scattering cushions and standing chairs.
A large area rug defines the comfortable lounge area from the rest of the open plan by forming a comfortable island of light color and soft texture underfoot.
A formal dining room runs next to the long kitchen island on the other side of the room.
The underside of the wood-clad suspended home office volume is reflected by a solid wooden kitchen island. A concrete base builds a cool contrast.
A second lounge is located on the decorated terrace, right next to the pool.
A piece of modern art languishes in the sunlight.
The external arrangement of control blocks is interrupted by more vertical gardens, which harmoniously fuse the volumes with the tropical surroundings.
The architecture and cultivation guarantee intimate discretion.
Red upholstery for exterior furniture marks the change of zone from the cool blue accent interior.
A roof deck is added to the leisure areas of the house.
On the other side of the social volume, doors on longitudinal tracks open to connect with an outside dining room.
Moving upstairs, we see the interrupted home office from inside. When closed, the wooden cap shutters create a private cocoon.
A tailor-made built-in desk, storage compartments and wall shelves fill the entire length of the narrow workshop.
A small interior living room and kitchen join the roof terrace.
The rooftop social areas offer a privileged view to the local neighborhood. Guest rooms and other private facilities overlook the pool through large windows.
An outdoor dining set, outdoor sofas and a large hot tub stand during a parade of wooden decks, while a set of sun loungers lies on a grassy edge.
Going down, not only does the house hold a gym and a large garage, but there is access to the hidden Red Room. Atmospheric red lighting and special acoustic treatments make it an ideal place for the homeowner’s private parties.
Red neon lights expose the ceiling and walls of the party room, creating a bright nightclub look. A lighted bar brightly strikes the length of the space, making backlit silhouettes of the modern bar stools. A large TV screen is arranged for sports and events.
The wooden lath shutters, which restore privacy, cross the wide-open side volumes, and cause an attractive light play on the interiors.
Vertical gardens and tall tropical trees provide glass-walled rooms with full sun privacy.
External steps connect the terraces.
The ground floor plan makes an L-shaped arrangement around the edge of the rectangular pool, placing the master series perpendicular to the main hall.
Two elegant lounge chairs and a small table are a perfect place for morning coffee on the bedroom deck.
The suspended deck is created by the supporting structure of the bedroom’s wide wooden lath private shutters.
Elegant white marble fashions a luxurious bathroom interior, where black fixtures and arms and a black toilet pan give dark accents. A square roof window opens the ceiling to natural daylight.
Dressed in honey-toned wood, the contemporary home exterior warmly contrasts with the clear blue sky.
