Studio GGA was hired in July 2011 to develop a refurbishment project for a 140sqm house located in a charming row house neighborhood of the jardins district, in Sao Paulo. The proposal was to expand the ground floor, unifying dining area, kitchen and living room and to create a larger, more contemplative, outside area. The floor and external coating and decking are of pine wood. the kitchen, dining and living room cabinets are all aligned on the same wall. The sofa was designed exclusively for this project. Knowing the client’s passion for cooking, a 5m long kitchen counter top made of corian was designed including cooktop, oven, a large sink and a table for six people. Due to natural materials and neutral colors of the house looks incredibly crisp and bright.
