Casa en el litoral Norte de São Paulo by André Vainer Arquitetos

André Vainer Arquitetos has completed a 505 m² house on the northern coast of São Paulo, Brazil, in Praia do Guaeca. Designed for six siblings and their families, the residence occupies a corner plot facing the sea within a subdivision masterplanned by Lúcio Costa. The L-shaped floor plan maximizes ocean views while also opening onto an internal area with a pool, garden, and a caretaker's house, all connected to street access. The project, completed in 2023, was led by André Vainer with co-author Tiago Wright van Deursen, and collaborators Gabriela Fuganholi, Fernanda Teixeira, and Maria Eduarda Lovisi. The structural engineering was handled by Benedicts Engenharia (concrete) and Renátta Brandão (wood), with lighting by Anna Turra, electrical and hydraulic installations by Dlameza Engenharia, landscaping by Beatriz Hubner, and construction by F2 Engenharia. Materials and products were sourced from Coral, Deca, FÓRMICA BRASIL, and REKA. The project was curated by Susanna Moreira and photographed by Pedro Napolitano Prata.
