Sao Veríssimo House: the space that transforms to embrace a new dimension of living.

The renovation project carried out by the Ren Ito Arq architecture studio has created a new floor within the existing house. The architectural intervention was made to enhance the living comfort, providing more space and brightness to the different areas of the building.

A house, from one floor to two floors, how do I intervene on the existing space and construction?

This house was originally a one-story building and has been transformed into a two-story building to increase livability in the existing space.

The architecture firm Ren Ito Arq used a portion of the available facade to carry out the building renovation. Currently, on the first floor, there is a space where the living room, dining room, kitchen, and a large atrium are integrated. On the second floor, there are two bedrooms: one for the couple and one for the children, a shared bathroom, and next to it, the master suite with its own bathroom and walk-in closet. Additionally, there is an office overlooking the atrium.

The impact of different surface heights on brightness.

There is a difference in ground height in this project, and the back side of the house is a higher level than the front side, making it difficult for natural light to enter the living room located at the back. The renovation used the atrium as a means to increase brightness. The architectural project focuses on expanding the house.

The details that enhance the result of the redevelopment intervention.

On the other side of the street in front of this house, there is a park, and the park's trees can be seen from the suite on the second floor, adding magic and charm to the view for the residents inside the house.
