Grid House: Custom Wood Framework Meets Polished Ambiance in Sao Paulo

Every home has something unique about it that gives it a character of its own. The Grid House in Sao Paulo is no different with an interior where custom framework in wood takes over pretty much the entire setting. The smart urban apartment feels sophisticated at every turn. But it is the grid pattern of the framework that covers the ceilings and walls in the living area, dining room and kitchen and does so in a gorgeous, eye-catching manner. Designed by Studio Guilherme Torres, the Grid House is in reality a blend of two different apartment units – one being a large duplex and the other a small studio apartment with limited space.

Uniquely designed ceiling of the apartment interior makes a smart statement

Combining the two previously separate apartments does much more than just extending the area indoors. It gives the new apartment a more spacious appeal with the floor plan being smartly split across its two levels. It is the lower level that contains the living area, dining space, kitchen and bar while the upper floor holds the master bedroom, other bedrooms and bathrooms as well. The distribution of areas is organic with one slowly leading to the next. The grid pattern framework is much more than just an aesthetic addition with air conditioners, lighting and speakers being neatly hidden behind its apparent presence.

Monochromatic rooms are made a touch more vibrant using the wood framework even as art pieces put the final touches on a home that feels exclusive and polished.

  • Burnt Cedar

    This is a full-time beach house for a car passionate family of four situated across from Burnt Cedar Beach in Incline Village, Nevada on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Prior to being pulled up the hill to flumes and rails destined for Virginia City, logs were staged here as the mountains around the lake shore were logged during the silver mining years of the 1860s. Set into a neighborhood originally built in the 1950s and bordered by houses to the sides and rear, the house takes a simple box form, half buried into the slope. It faces the lake with full height glazing that encloses a loft-like plan with double height living spaces. The clients requested a space that felt like the landscape and maintained a feeling inside of being outside in the light and shadow play of the sixty to ninety-foot Jeffrey and Ponderosa pines that populate the lake shore.  Perforated wood ceilings and acoustical plaster walls soften the sounds of the concrete and glass pavilion-like house. An underground garage is excavated under the house with level access to the street, a must in this snowy climate for a family with an eclectic car collection.
