Native structure observe Studio Arthur Casas has used dramatic cantilevers and overhangs to increase the amount of a home with wooden and stone accents throughout a web site in São Paulo, Brazil.
Accomplished in 2025, Grama Home spreads throughout an acre nook lot with a sawtooth edge that enables this system to recede throughout the location.
“On this home, the inspiration got here from the location itself – a nook lot with open views and no fast visible obstructions – and from the need to create an structure that spreads out and breathes,” studio principal Arthur Casas advised Dezeen.
“We labored with horizontal planes and interlocking volumes that stretch towards the panorama, permitting the home to settle naturally into the terrain.”

This workplace is suspended by metal trusses mounted to 50-centimetre sq. columns.
“This area constitutes the challenge’s most important structural gesture,” the studio stated.
“The technical complexity was heightened by the truth that the best dwell load is concentrated on the cantilever’s extremity, the place mounted millwork is positioned, demanding rigor in each detailing and execution.”

With the interaction of volumes and cantilevers, the residence features totally on one stage for simple, on a regular basis mobility.
The fabric palette goals to determine continuity between the outside and inside with metallic, a rough-stone and plaster combine, and Accoya wooden on the skin, transitioning to European oak and textured paint on the within.
