In the picturesque setting of Bragança Paulista, Brazil, GM House, built by Padovani in 2021, represents a brilliant synthesis of contemporary architecture and peaceful nature.

Visitors enter the house through an entrance just below street level, which leads them onto a vast, uninterrupted plateau. A well-placed space between the living and personal areas marks this main entry point and leads guests into the heart of the house. On arrival, attention is immediately captured by a vast central hollow space, protected by an exceptional floating metal structure that promotes a warm, even flow through the living spaces.

Common spaces that receive natural light

The common areas of the GM apartment are generously laid out under a large metal canopy. The use of organic materials – rustic wood, brick and stone – contrasts harmoniously with the aluminum panels, creating a blend of elegance and warmth. Large glass walls create a continuous link between inside and outside, letting natural light into the living and dining areas.

The architectural design is revolutionary, incorporating gardens and terraces on the roof of the building. This addition not only beautifies the grounds, it is also an example of sustainable practices. Features such as rainwater management and natural insulation are of paramount importance and reflect Padovani’s dedication to environmentally-friendly architecture.
