Modern Country House : Casa MP by Studio Arthur Casas
According to Arthur Casas of Casa MP Studio his intention was to have the house unnoticed from street perspective, therefore the rugged topography of the land was important. It’s common in São Paulo to have a house in the City and an extra house, most of the time, in a residential condominium with golf camp, 1 or 2 hours from the City of São Paulo, obviously for a certain social class. These are mostly residences for the weekend and this residence is an example of it.
It’s about a young couple, 35 years old, with 2 young kids (a couple) 5 and 8 years old . A bright house and a view of the golf camp incorporated into the project are the only requirements from the owners. I used organic materials such as wood (Cumaru from sustainable handling) and old brick from demolition. Many openings with a beautiful view to the golf course, interconnected spaces, generous convenience areas and plenty comfort mainly.
View of the home featuring exterior brick and wooden structure with other building material combination. One side of the home is elevated above the swimming pool. Great outdoor space for the family and fiends to relax .
When you look at this unique home design, you can see the different layers the flat roofs have and the beautiful exterior structure of the house which makes it stylish. People from inside the home can see right through to the swimming pool and green lawn yard outside.
When you enter the home volume you see a horizontal opening on each side, a zenithal one above and a vertical one in front, all framing the bucolic landscape and bringing light to the staircase and all three floors.
Casa MP looks amazing in the evening with its dramatic use good lighting around the house.
Now we a different view of Casa MP house , you can tell the house is located on the steep slope with part of it embedded in the earth volume. The upper area can be accessed through some brick covered steps that complements with the wall.
The home’s country side location means it takes advantage of the Beautiful green landscapes views around it while embracing nature.

It is next to the kitchen open to a courtyard with a vertical garden. On both sides large glass doors can be pivoted as garage gates, allowing total integration with the golf course landscape.
