A renovation project signed by Estúdio BRA Arquitectura in Sao Paulo, Brazil, transformed an old family house with the typical compartmentalised spaces of the past into an airy and spacious building, with a green rooftop also hosting a vegetable garden.
The Pirajá House is located in Pinheiros, a fine neighbourhood of Sao Paulo. Before the urban development of the Brazilian metropolis, this area was dominated by a thick sub-tropical forest whose green memories are evoked by the renovation project signed by André Di Gregorio and Rodrigo Maçonilio, two young architects and urban planners who founded Estúdio BRA Arquitectura in 2012 in Sao Paulo.
