The 2,000 square meter plot designated for the construction of Casa Rouxinol, located in the Paraíba Valley, in São Paulo, presented complex obstacles for defining the architectural concept. The site offered a spectacular view of the Jaguari river dam, but it also required managing a 50-meter elevation difference and preserving over 300 registered trees.
Minimizing environmental impact was established as a fundamental and non-negotiable requirement. This set of conditions determined the design decisions, ranging from the initial architectural concept to the final selection of materials used in the work.
