In Assis (SP), a project by Sabella Arquitetura offers creative solutions that integrate landscape, thermal comfort, and family life. Designed for a family that moved from São Paulo’s capital to the countryside, in the city of Assis, the 450 m² Casa Brise by Sabella Arquitetura is both modern and functional. Practical solutions, which also enhance the project’s aesthetic identity, result in a home that is welcoming, sensitive, and full of personality.

The flat-slab metal structure is complemented by natural stone, large glass windows, and, on the upper floor, a perforated metal panel. The brise-soleils create a delicate interplay of light and shadow around the house, while also promoting thermal comfort. One of the residents’ wishes was for an integrated house that would encourage interaction among family and friends. The gourmet area, for instance, is spacious and connected to the outdoors, making it ideal for gatherings and celebrations. The large glass windows further strengthen the connection between inside and outside.

In the pool area, a stone wall and a large planter enhance the sense of privacy and coziness. The landscaping has a tropical feel, highlighted by a jabuticaba tree that was transplanted from another part of the plot to the house’s entrance. A practical home with creative solutions and contemporary materials that blend comfort, lightness, and technical precision.
