Subtraction House is located in the high-end residential condominium Quinta da Baroneza, in Bragança Paulista, just 90 kilometers from the city of São Paulo. The property, designed for a couple and their teenage son, was strategically placed on a square plot, taking advantage of the gently sloping topography and offering generous views.
