Located in a lush, tree-lined neighborhood of São Paulo, FR House — designed by Brazilian firm Meireles + Pavan Arquitetura — is conceived as an urban retreat where the dialogue between architecture and nature unfolds in a seamless, continuous flow. The project is structured around the layering of three prismatic volumes of distinct proportions, whose façades incorporate different layers of protection — wood slats, glazing, and panels — that filter light, airflow, and, above all, the rela  tionship with the surrounding landscape.

From the ground level, the integration with nature becomes a defining element of the project. The social areas — living room, dining space, terrace, and kitchen — open generously onto the surrounding garden, dissolving the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. A continuous stone floor connects interior and exterior, while walls clad in wooden panels echo the natural palette of the garden. Large glass sliding doors and adjustable wooden screens regulate the flow of light and air, offering visual and climatic control.

On the terrace, the barbecue area is designed for outdoor living, encouraging moments of gathering and leisure. The view extends toward a lush green wall framed by tropical landscaping, forming a living backdrop that visually expands the main garden. The organically shaped pool contrasts gently with the orthogonal geometry of the architecture. Clad in Vitória Régia quartzite — a vibrant green Brazilian natural stone — the pool reinforces the tropical and sensory character of the house.
