Arches House / ARKITITO Arquitetura

Near the iconic Pôr-do-Sol Square in the Alto de Pinheiros neighborhood of São Paulo, a couple with two daughters and a dog acquired a beautiful house with vaulted roofs, originally designed by modern Brazilian architect Ennes Silveira Melo and completed in the 1970s. Besides the geometry of the roofs, the house featured exposed concrete structural elements that needed updating to meet the new family's needs. To achieve this, they chose the Brazilian architecture firm ARKITITO, which also assisted them during the property selection phase and orchestrated the residential renovation.
