Located in São Paulo, Brazil, Vila Campo Belo House is a residential project completed by DT Estúdio in 2013. The greatest source of inspiration for the project was that the house had been kept very close to its original state. It didn’t take them much to define the concept: The general characteristics of the house would be kept and highlighted, therefore, creating a new, modern identity for the residence. The first decision taken was to remove the wall that separated the kitchen from the living and dining room, creating, thus, a large multipurpose room.
The room in the backyard has been completely modified to house the service area and office with private bathroom that could be reversed into a guest suite. A frame of three sheets, two made of glass and one screened would open both spaces to the garden. A structural reinforcement was needed and the new steel beam would be apparent. The highlight here is the charming three-color hydraulic floor tiles in the outdoor area and also inside the little house in the backyard. Special attention was devoted to the multipurpose room: The color palette of blues and grays was balanced with the warm tones of the Pequiá wood floor and brick wall. In the kitchen, the techno-cement contrasts with red and white cabinets.
