Reinach Mendonça Arquitetos is responsible for another residential project in condominium Quinta da Baroneza, in Bragança Paulista (Brazil). Residência Braúnas, developed in a single 885 m² floor, provides a feeling of unity between the internal and external spaces.

From its exterior, the house suggests an elegant description, with a cozy and pleasant touch given by the exposed concrete and the presence of garden plants. Seen from the outside, the facade provides a hint of the dynamic composition of the house as a whole, as volumetric overlaps enrich the architectural promenade.

Designed to optmize natural lighting, social areas were placed in a transparent box with large glass doors opening to the front and back. This arrangement creates an internal atmosphere that reduces distances and makes the whole place cozy.

The architectural design focused on transforming the circulations into glass galleries facing the patio which can be seen from all rooms, functioning as the main articulation space. This external space is composed of a large garden and a reflecting pool. To protect the entire social area from the setting sun, a metallic brise was positioned as a flap descending from the roof.
