Summer house is a true private oásis

Marcela Rocca Arquitetura & Interiores as Architects

The contemporary style is present in this summer house, located in Porto Feliz, in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil, which received complete renovation in the 220m² of built area, recently delivered by the construction company. With an open concept, which explores construction possibilities and different materials, interior designer Marcela Rocca developed a project for her clients to share moments of leisure, with comfort and complete disconnection from the outside world, creating affective memories surrounded by nature.

Located at the highest point of the land, the house was strategically framed to embrace the beautiful surrounding landscape to the interior areas of the residence. Its structure has two ground floors, interconnected by an entrance hall, which result in spacious, bright and bold environments, with long, glazed walls, for the family to fully enjoy the view of nature. A charming composition of furniture and decorative objects leads to the main entrance of the house, which marks the transition between the social and intimate areas.

On the right side of the hall, the integrated living space reflects a minimalist language. On the gourmet balcony, the main wall with terracotta texture and the wooden slat lining blend perfectly with the furniture with clean and current features. In the kitchen, the central island accommodated the cooktop on a black granite top, and received a light wood countertop, which contrasts with the brown chairs. The layout allowed more practicality and functionality to the environment, in addition to interaction between people.

Residents' privacy is guaranteed in the block to the left of the entrance hall, where the intimate area is located, with three suites. The couple's bedroom received a headboard with MDF slats painted in white, a bedside table and a vintage-style dressing table. For her daughters’ bedroom, she opted for the “less is more” trend, creating a simple and peaceful setting. All bathrooms have floors and coverings in gray tones. But for children, beige and white tones predominate in the finishes of the countertops, floors and walls. The infinity pool with various depth levels guarantees fun for all ages and offers incredible views!
