Text description provided by the architects. The project was executed in 3 contiguous lots in the Cidade Jardim neighborhood. On the central plot, the house was designed in the 1970s by Roberto Aflalo. On one of the side lots, a grove. On the other, space for annex/expansion. To integrate the whole set, we started with the structural modulation of the Aflalo house. We worked with alignments and structural balances that created a clear dialogue and a sense of unity between the different phases. The Aflalo house has been completely renovated. In the living room, the complete plaster ceiling was replaced by a partial wooden ceiling, exposing the core of the ribbed slab, but hiding the hydraulic infrastructure of the intimate area above.

The annex has two guest suites, an office, a new garage with a wine cellar underneath, a roof garden, and new pilotis with a fully equipped open kitchen and dining area. The terrain is the heart of the project. Rosa Kliass' original landscape and inner garden have been reinvigorated. The old Garage, at street level, had its roof demolished and its floor transformed into a water pound with a glass bottom, bringing light and vitality to the central courtyard. The pilotis of the new building is an extension of the original pilotis, complementing its use with toilets, kitchen/grill, and sauna. And this enlarged pilotis has the new grove on its side. The entire project had award-winning landscaping by Raul Pereira, in the restoration and management of the forest, the garden roof of the new block, and the pilotis in general.

In the grove, architecture is present through a concrete chalice with a fire pit accessed only through the Aflalo house, by a 10-meter concrete walkway. The project has sculptures by José Bechara, Rodrigo Ohtake, and Túlio Pinto
