Text description provided by the architects. A hyper-connected home that prioritizes sustainable solutions and transforms an icon of São Paulo's modern architecture, dating from 1962 and designed by Botti and Rubin, into a flexible and reconfigurable habitat. An apartment immersed in a real urban forest. A project that reflects on the impacts of new digital technologies and new ways of living.
Hybrid Architecture. Concrete and virtual merge to build a spatiality called hybrid, where the cement and the brick blended themselves with network cables, microcontrollers, and sensors. Automation is one of the tools that allows for designing responsive spaces. In the Terrace Apartment, the house management system can be controlled virtually through mobile devices or locally through smart keypads or voice commands, allowing you to set different scenarios, from day-to-day to workstations, parties, or cinema. Accesses, lighting, irrigation, audio and video, curtains, and furniture, are all automated.
Wide Terrace. The residents wanted to live in an apartment with a balcony. As this building didn’t offer this possibility, but as it has a glass facade, and floor-to-ceiling, they decided to transform the entire apartment into a balcony. It is occupied by different species of plants, many of them native to Brazil. A true urban forest, with fruit trees, a productive vegetable garden, and species with flowers.
Flexibility. The project breaks with the traditional setting of the apartment which used to reproduce the so-called bourgeois residential tripartition, which originated in France in the XVIII century and which divides the houses into social, intimate, and services areas. A flexible floor plan allows the movement of walls or pieces of furniture and includes the active participation of the resident in its constant resetting. At Terrace Apartment, instead of designing a project based on the rooms, such as the bedroom, living room, and kitchen, we sought to design a house based on its activities, such as working, sleeping, eating, receiving friends, taking care of the clothes, or relaxing. The result is a dynamic and interactive architecture, likely to accommodate different daily practices.
Acoustic glass sliding doors and large panels of automated curtains blurs the boundaries and allow you to create more social or more private moments, integrating or isolating spaces. The kitchen is an example of one of the environments that transforms itself according to the resident's wishes. Integrated into the living room by large pivoting doors, it may also function as a meeting place or workstation multiplying the usual uses for this kind of space. It is divided into a preparation and work area (enabled by a countertop, magnetic board, and television) and a cleaning area, surrounded by a vegetable garden. In the office, the desk and lamp were made from recycled wood from the old floor. They rotate automatically to favor the window view or to receive DJ pickups on party days.
The living room receives a wide cinema with a 120” screen which changes into a meeting room with an integrated camera and microphone for calls. By using the same projector, during leisure time, the wall becomes a digital gallery, receiving NFT works from the residents’ collections. On festive days, with the rapid displacement of some pieces, the room becomes a dance floor, with reactive audio lighting attached to the suspended flower box.
