São Paulo-based studio SPBR Arquitetos has designed this gorgeous concrete residence in Ubatuba, one of the most important coastal cities in the state of São Paulo in Brazil. The 3,660 square-foot home sits on a 180? x 52? lot. The design process started in 2004 and the house was completed in 2009. Three columns, made in reinforced concrete, support the house. The casting of these columns is possible by the use of sliding forms. Four beams lay on the top of them in order to hang the slabs from above and also to avoid the use of support frames during the construction process, making it faster and more rational.
