Text description provided by the architects. Recycled wood grid merges internal and external areas in this residence at Alto de Pinheiros neighbourhood. Residence at Alto de Pinheiros uses a structural grid of reclined wood as an integrating element of the common areas, respecting the vegetation and the existing trees on the site. Perkins+Will has been hired by a family from São Paulo to build its new residence, located at Alto de Pinheiros; a traditional and predominantly residential district of São Paulo. The site, with approximately 1,000 square meters, has been acquired by customers due to its natural characteristics; about 50% of it was occupied by a generous garden, including an imposing Flamboyant. Therefore, respect for the existing conditions on the site would become the great challenge in this project.
