LRM HOUSE IN SÃO PAULO
DESIGNED BY ARCHITECTS AMANDA CASTRO AND GIOVANA GIOSA FROM STUDIO AG
Located in a green neighborhood in the city of São Paulo , this 435m ² house occupies a narrow and long plot of 370m ², with dense neighbors on the sides , which oriented the placing of the openings in the main areas to the front and back sides of the site .
The pedestrian access takes place on the left side of the site and invites the user to slowly discover the great span that brings light from the top to the entire ground floor . Before accessing the living room , a blue tribal character graffiti artwork from the Brazilian artist Crânio welcomes the guests . It serves as a protector of the house , as the residents like to describe it . This belief shows the essence of the family that makes a home out of the planned space .
Planning a house is presumably anticipating a spatial distribution that enables good use to a specific lifestyle . The house becomes a home upon the way of living of its residents , that tie their personal values , habits and behaviours to the inhabited spaces , which in this case , is the love for art , that can be seen and felt all over the house .
