Sítio Rio Acima的改造被设想为一系列准时的干预措施，当它们被缝合在一起时，相互补充，创造出一种统一的感觉。这座房子已经被同一个家庭的不同世代使用了四十多年。该项目的第一个挑战是处理场地的现有条件–该场地的建筑群有非常不同的建筑，在不同的时期建造，而且所有这些建筑对客户来说都有感情价值。坐落在Jundiaí市的郊区，Sítio的建筑也暗示了其附近的特殊景观，将农村的各个方面与代表该市不太新的工业化象征的残余棚子和烟囱结合起来。

The renovation of Sítio Rio Acima was conceived as a series of punctual interventions that when stitched together, complement each other creating a sense of unity. The sítio has been used for over forty years by different generations of the same family. The first challenge of the project was to deal with the pre-existing conditions of the site – the site’s complex had very disparate constructions, made in different periods of time, and all of them carried sentimental value to the clients. Situated on the outskirts of the city of Jundiaí, the Sítio’s constructions also allude to its neighborhood’s particular landscape, combining aspects of the rural countryside with remnant sheds and chimneys that represent symbols of the city’s not-so-recent industrialization.

新建筑使用了实心砖砌体，这种材料在现场是没有的，因此，起到了强调新干预的作用。这种材料的选择是受到周围地区大量砖窑的启发。砖还带有该市第一批工厂和铁路结构到来的标志，如弯曲的桥（ponte torta）。

The new buildings used solid brick masonry, a material that was absent on the site, and thus, served to emphasize the new interventions. This choice of materiality is inspired by the abundant brick kilns of the surrounding area. The brick also bears the mark of the arrival of the first factories and railway structures in the city, such as the crooked bridge (ponte torta).

Sítio的主要入口位于场地的下部，那里有一条通道，沿着一个小湖边走，被一道弧形的环形混凝土挡墙所限定。这个围墙是一个元素，既决定了一个指定的车库空间，也支持看守所的登陆平台。看守所（casa do caseiro）暗指巴西的 “caipira “建筑，这是一种来自农村的乡土建筑类型，在sítio附近的其他房屋中仍然可以找到。这种建筑风格的一个例子是casa do caseiro的遮阳门廊，它包含在两个盲目的体积之间，这也是参考了古老的bandeirista殖民时期房屋。

The main entrance of the Sítio is located at the lower portion of the site, where an access road runs alongside a small lake and is delimited by a curved cyclopean concrete retaining wall. This containment wall is an element that both determines a designated garage space, and also supports the caretaker’s house’s landing platform. The caretaker’s house (casa do caseiro) alludes to the Brazilian “caipira” architecture, a vernacular type of construction from the countryside that can still be found in other houses within the sítio’s neighborhood. One example of this construction style is the casa do caseiro’s shaded porch contained between two blind volumes, which is also referencing old bandeirista colonial houses.

沿着同一条通道继续前进，Sítio的主屋位于右边较高的斜坡上。向左看去，在湖边有一个游泳池，一个小卖部，以及一个用砖砌的螺旋墙建造的专门用于浴室和更衣室的新体积。游泳池边的新建筑与现有的售货亭相对，位于结合所有三个元素的三角形的顶点。

Continuing further on the same access road, the sítio’s main house is located on the higher slope area to the right. Looking down to the left, near the lake there is a swimming pool, a kiosk, and a new volume dedicated to the bathroom and changing rooms built with brick spiral walls. The new construction by the pool was placed in opposition to the existing kiosk, at the vertex of a triangle that combines all three elements.

主屋是现有的木制别墅的改造版，原来有三间卧室和两个浴室。旧主卧室的浴室被拆除，空间被重新安排，以便在房子的旧结构中容纳第四间卧室。两个新的浴室被分配到后面的附属建筑中，在主屋外。所有卧室的窗户都被带百叶窗的法式门取代，将房间的空间延伸到外面的阳台，由一个木制凉棚结构覆盖。

The main house is a remodeled version of the existing wooden cottage, which originally had three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The bathroom of the old master bedroom was demolished, and the space was rearranged in order to accommodate a fourth bedroom within the old structure of the house. Two new bathrooms were allocated into an annex at the back, outside the main house. All bedroom windows were replaced by french doors with shutters, extending the space of the rooms to the veranda outside, covered by a wooden pergola structure.

起居室被重新设计，以容纳更多的客人，这种调整适合目前房子的使用和需求。厨房和餐厅被重新分配在现有的别墅结构的社交区域内，并增加了一个新的空间，用于建造一个更宽敞的客厅：一个带有拱形天花板的立方体。从外面看，新的客厅体量与屋脊一致，同时也与现有的屋檐平齐，展开到保护木质框架的混凝土结构中。

The living area was redesigned to accommodate more guests, an adaption that suited the current usage and needs of the house. The kitchen and dining room were redistributed within the social areas of the existing cottage structure, and a new addition was made to lodge space for a more generous living room: a cubical volume with a vaulted ceiling. Looking from the outside, the new living room volume aligns with the roof ridge and at the same time is also leveled with the existing eaves, unfolding into the concrete structures that protect the wooden frames.

这座房子的空间感来自于其屋顶不寻常的轮廓，平房的旧正交结构与客厅体量的新陶瓷拱顶在这里相遇。阳光从顶部的拱形窗户回荡在客厅和餐厅区域。就在外面的甲板上，有一个热水浴缸，巧妙地放置在两棵巨大的Indaiá棕榈树之间，可以看到湖和游泳池。

The spatiality of this house is inspired by its roof’s unusual profile, where the old orthogonal structure of the cottage meets with the new ceramic vault of the living room volume. The sunlight reverberates from the top vaulted windows across the living and dining areas. Just outside on the deck, there is a hot tub delicately placed between two gigantic indaiá palm trees, looking out at the lake and the pool.
