ResidenCal › Edgy Modern- Styled Renovation of a Rustic Mountain Home
Renovating doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By planning wisely, budgeting smartly, and considering all the little (and big) details, you can create a home that’s not only beautiful but also functional and future-ready.
The design concept is rooted in respect and understanding of the natural environment. Vegetation is cleverly used in the courtyard, and the landscape changes with the passage of time, offering various levels of diversity. The garden centers around “trees,” creating a natural oxygen bar and creating an approachable reception area under the trees.

Isabelle and Fernando were looking for a home that met their family routine needs and was close to their daughter's school, in the Vila Madalena neighborhood. They found a house built in the 1940s, largely preserved with its original configuration, located on a 300m² lot, featuring a two-story main house and a two-story annex.
