The project by architect Patricia Penna, from the firm
Patricia Penna Arquitetura & Design , is a dream retreat for a family with three children. Located in the interior of São Paulo, the house
with more than 900 m² was designed to accommodate the residents and receive guests. Patricia prioritized
well-being and hospitality , meeting the residents' desire for a spacious and fully equipped home.
To receive guests, it was essential to create a
living room with an
integrated social area , ideal for meetings. The balcony and garden connect the interior with the exterior, bringing nature inside and creating a
cozy atmosphere.
“The brightness was one of the highlights of this project,” explains Patricia. The layout includes
classic and organic furniture designs , such as sofas, armchairs and a hanging swing. The décor uses natural materials, such as a coffee table with a wooden top, rugs and baskets made of linen and natural fibers, highlighting the
connection with nature .
In the social area, a complete gourmet kitchen in shades of gray and black adds a contemporary touch to the classic carpentry. Countertops in dark graphite sintered sheet metal complete the set, which includes a pit top , barbecue and beer tap. A sliding door connects to the kitchen , where the refrigerator and pantry are located. The place also has a climate-controlled wine cellar for 400 bottles, arranged on metal pins, with oak-covered floors and walls. In the home theater , the generous linen sofa is ideal for accommodating several people for a movie session. Some decorative details stand out, such as the large panel in Travertine Silver, a natural and elegant material. Adjacent to the home theater , connected by a large sliding door, is the playroom with built-in cabinets hidden by a grooved panel. In the center of this set, a circular niche offers a playful resting area, while the other niches have been colored with a cheerful color palette. The outdoor area with pool received special attention so that the experience would not be restricted to summer days. A fire pit, below the grass level, provides the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the late afternoon and pleasant evenings. In the
master suite , walk-in closets, generous bedroom and bathroom stand out for their
timeless décor that blends classic and elegant. Materials such as velvet, linen, cotton and sintered sheets were chosen by the architect.
In
children's bedrooms , each child's personality is prioritized. Lacquered panels, blinds and smart carpentry for niches, benches, shelves and desks are items that are present in all of them, but in different ways.
"Personalizing the space encourages the development of personality and the celebration of each person's
individuality ," explains the architect.
