Fazenda Boa Vista: A Contemporary Country Home in São Paulo

A Lightweight Structure Emphasizing Integration with the Landscape

Inspired by the owners' desire for a country home that seamlessly blends with its surroundings, Fernanda Marques Arquitetos Associados created Fazenda Boa Vista, a stunning architectural masterpiece in Porto Feliz, São Paulo. With its contemporary design and structural boldness, this 700m² steel-framed house stands out from the surrounding houses, emphasizing its integration with the landscape.

The design of Fazenda Boa Vista prioritizes the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, with large openings and glazed surfaces that allow for breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. The whole façade is made from seamless sliding panes, creating a seamless transition between the interior and the exterior. The use of few and refined materials, such as wood, stone, and glass, adds to the project's essentiality and elegance.

One of the standout features of Fazenda Boa Vista is its innovative use of concrete pillars. Special attention was paid to their design to impart the project with more lightness, further enhancing the integration with the landscape. The house is composed of two clear volumes, with fully-opening panes that create a sense of openness and freedom.

Fazenda Boa Vista has received recognition for its outstanding design. In 2016, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building, and Structure Design category. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and a commitment to improving quality of life through the incorporation of art, science, design, and technology.

With its contemporary language, structural boldness, and seamless integration with the landscape, Fazenda Boa Vista stands as a testament to the power of innovative architecture and design. It showcases the possibilities of creating a country home that not only complements its surroundings but also pushes the boundaries of traditional design.
