Padovani Arquitetos has sent us photos of a project they designed in Campinas, Brazil, that takes advantage of the topography to create a modern home with a horizontal design and lower garage.

A glass wall opens to connect the inside living spaces with the covered outdoor areas, where there’s a kitchen, outdoor dining, and sitting area. From this view, you can see how the expansive wood ceiling covers both the interior and outdoor spaces.
