Villa Breda, Limeira, São Paulo, Brazil.

Villa Breda is a single family house in a typical gated community. The house responds to the specific situation by stretching its interiors apart forming a three-dimensional configuration of garden and house. The spatial limits dissolves into a green and social landscape for the gatherings of the large family. House and garden gradually meet the street with an inviting attitude towards the neighborhood, thus seamlessly interweaving various fire- and safety legislation.
Few peripheral walls can be altered to extend the villa into the neighboring lots, creating opportunities for common recreational places for the vast, multi-generational Brasilian family.
Private suites and green terraces occupy the first floor, lifted from the social arena of the ground: You sleep under ventilated roofs and shower in spaces, that open towards the patios.
