Mirante House

FGMF as Architects

Located in the interior of the São Paulo state, Mirante House is a residence designed by the Brazilian architecture office FGMF Arquitetos for a couple and their children.


The project has a discreet facade compared to the others in the area, it appears to be a house rather dark, almost “spartan” at first glance, but upon entering and crossing the runways, you can see the large glassed lounge space that connects the living room and kitchen through small walkways, followed by the pool, gazebo and the view. Transparency, vegetation, brise-soleil, and the climax in the beautiful view from the other side.


The residence has all the primary structure in steel against only concrete slabs and it was divided in two ways: Ground (entry and higher level - kitchen, laundry area, bathroom, living rooms, gourmet balconies, pool and gazebo), superior (rooms and garden rooms) and lower (home theater, wine cellar, guest and office with balcony).


The inclination of the land provided the formatting with the gazebo with the view to the northeast at the lake that is part of the condominium. The office opted for sustainable solutions as irrigation system with rainwater collection and reuse in gardens, solar heating, thermal walls, the use of steel in the main structure (that can be recycled and has a lower environmental impact), ventilation cross in most rooms, particularly in the halls and the like.


Casa Mirante has strong modernist roots, such as the intensive use of brise-soleil, free plant and facade, but proposes relations with the view, nature and gardens that offers a contemporary style.
