Maruba Residence by Padovani Arquitetos Associados

Designed by the architectural firm Padovani Arquitetos Associados, the Maruba Residence represents a luxurious modern home designed across two levels, each defined by its own volume. This stunning residence is surrounded by sophisticated landscape elements that enhance the contemporary interior design. The total area is just under 6,000 square feet, and all spaces are executed with the highest level of quality. If some design elements seem familiar to you, it's likely because you've already seen our gallery of works from another project by this studio—the CR Residence in Jacuim Egidio.

The project was developed for a couple with three adult children. Our site is located at the top of the field, in an area with the greatest elevation change. The clients were situated on the highest point of the plot.

For this reason, we placed the house at the highest point of the site. In addition to the traditional two-level home program, such as public, service and recreational areas located on the first floor. The second floor houses the owner's required zones: sleeping area and bicycle storage.

The use of concrete and steel structures. On the facade of a house located in Campinas—one of Brazil's most renowned cities—the key element is an open terrace. The space connects two volumes and serves as a pedestrian entrance exiting from the front of the building. Through it flows a minimalist garden with large glass coverage that extends the lobby boundaries.
