对于像圣保罗这样的城市来说，一层楼的房子是一种奢侈，其房地产的压力几乎总是导致建筑在地块上允许的最大数量。考虑到这一点，这个改革项目从探索这个一开始就赋予我们的美德开始。
A one-story house is a luxury for a city like São Paulo, whose real estate pressure almost always leads to building the maximum amount allowed for the lot. With that in mind, this reform project starts from the exploration of this virtue that is given to us at first.
改造项目提出了一个视觉和光亮的清洁，但保持了一个单层的房子。作为主要的行为，它将房子打开到现有的几个凹槽，将它们融入内部空间。为此，纤维水泥屋顶和屋檐被拆除，”午餐室 “也被拆除，将其变成一个室内花园。在内部，墙壁被推倒，实际上整合了所有环境。一个新的梯子，轻盈而中空，可以通向新的屋顶，现在是一个可以欣赏风景和日落的花园。随着屋顶的拆除，还可以利用天顶的开口，这给环境带来了非常好的照明和通风质量。
The renovation project proposes a visual and luminous cleaning but maintains a one-story house. As the main act, it opens the house to the few existing recesses, integrating them into the internal space. For this, the fiber-cement roof and the eaves were removed, and the “lunchroom” was also removed, transforming it into an indoor garden. Internally, walls were knocked down, integrating practically all environments. A new ladder, light and hollow, gives access to the new roof, now a garden that enjoys the landscape and the sunset. With the removal of the roof, it was also possible to make use of zenith openings, which bring a very good quality of lighting and ventilation to the environment.
整个房子现在围绕着内院/花园，所有的房间都能看到这个花园：厨房、餐厅、客厅、家庭室、图书馆、流通室，甚至是套房里的壁橱和浴室都能看到花园。这个花园是房子里面的一门光炮。
The whole house now revolves around the inner courtyard/garden, all rooms overlook this garden: kitchen, dining room, living room, family room, library, circulation, and even the closet and bathroom in the suite overlooking the garden. This garden is a light cannon inside the house.
在外面，新房子是一个白色的体量，在一些战略性的地方，如入口处，在人行道上迎接行人，在窗户上方保护框架，以及在重要的连接处，如客厅/阳台和客厅/洗衣房之间，被一些暴露的混凝土板切割。在内部，我们提出了一个新的整体地板，提供了空间上的统一性，并整合了所有的环境。受原来优秀的铁架的启发，我们建议新的铁架与原来的铁架相似，总是用光亮的合成搪瓷漆。
On the outside, the new house is a white volume cut by some slabs of exposed concrete in strategic places such as the entrance, picking up the pedestrian on the sidewalk, above windows protecting the frames, and in important connections such as between living room/balcony and living room/laundry. Internally, we proposed a new monolithic floor that provides spatial unity and integrates all environments. Inspired by the excellent original iron frames, we proposed that the new ones be made similar to the originals, always painted in glossy synthetic enamel.
