Forte, Gimenes & Marcondes Ferraz Arquitectos designed a home in Sao Paulo, Brazil, that doesn’t look like much from the street, but hidden within is a personal open-aired oasis.

Due to building constraints, like the site being on a 17-degree slope, sleeping quarters were positioned on the lower level, with the social areas being on the main level.
