在一个典型的圣保罗社区背景下设计房屋的委托，要求我们测试我们设计理念的极限–渗透性，对周围城市空间的开放性。对这些条件进行解读的结果是一个宽阔而明亮的空间，同时也掩盖了日常生活所需的封闭性的需求。
The commision to design a house in a typical São Paulo neighbourhood context, out of gated communities, demanded that we test the limits of our design philosophy – permeability, openness to surrounding urban space. The result of the reading of these conditions a wide and light space that also shelters the need of enclosure that daily life demands.
这座房子是为一对年轻夫妇建造的，它位于街道的上方，在一个单一的屋顶下，界定了集体活动的宽阔空间，由私人使用的砖石块穿过–上面是mezanin，由一个混凝土楼梯连接。该建筑被一堵大型金属和玻璃墙缓缓封闭，使空间延伸到地块的极限，同时也将自然光、空气和周围的城市景观引入室内。
Built for a young couple, the house is placed above street level, organized under a single roof that defines the wide space where the collective activities take place, crossed by the private use masonry block – on top of which is the mezanin, connected by a concrete staircase. The construction is gently closed by a large metal and glass wall, that allows space to be extended to the limits of the plot and also bring natural light, air and the surrounding urbanscape to the inside.
mezanin解释了指导设计过程的 “开放到关闭 “的操作：它同时是集成和分离的，创造了一个空间调节，允许社交或隐私，没有墙壁或隔断。
The mezanin is explicits the “open-to-close” operation that guided the design process: it is simultaneously integrated and detached, creating a spatial modulation that allows socialization or privacy without walls or partitions.
关于材料，Butantã House是对一个现有建筑的干预，其脆弱的结构不得不被拆除，只留下覆盖车库的混凝土板。新的建筑是用砖石、混凝土、钢和玻璃建造的。
Regarding materials, the Butantã House results from a intervention in a existing construction, whose fragile structure had to be demolished, leaving only the concrete slab that covers the garage. The new construction is built with masonry, concrete, steel and glass.
