Courtyard housing in Itaquecetuba, São Paulo, Brazil
The configuration of the building with a central courtyard allows all the apartments to be cross ventilated, overlooking the surrounding landscape and the green central patio and playground. The subtle variations in the rhythm of the façade, with openings and colors, aim to differentiate and enhance the three layers of the building: the base, the body and the rooftop floors.

The separation of spaces for day and night uses is aimed at maximising their utility for additional benefit. Further, all the shared communal spaces are provided with cross ventilation. The apartments, even the smallest ones, have a balcony facing the surroundings and a community circulation gallery facing the courtyard.
