Casa Muxarabi is part of a construction project that totals more than 600m2 and has not yet been built in its entirety. Conceived as a house to host friends and family, it now houses the couple and their two children until the main house is built.

The large plot of more than 5000m² has a flat topography and already contains some mature trees capable of creating plenty of shade and a tree house for the children to come. Coming from the capital of São Paulo, the clients found in this plot the feeling of a place of refuge and proximity to nature that hardly any other house in the city where they lived could provide. It was up to the project to create a connection between the architecture and the idea of a less urban house, where the location of the house respected the location of the existing trees.

The choice of the engineered wood construction system is in line with the concept of architecture with a reduced carbon footprint. The project consists of a construction system in which beams and pillars made of glued laminated pine wood and a roof made of ceramic tiles are responsible for the clean and agile construction. The prefabrication of the parts gives the project an interesting level of industrialization, while at the same time increasing the building's level of sustainability.

Two suites, a toilet, living room, dining room, kitchen, laundry room and an office were designed to house new uses in the future that could complement the main house's program. In the swimming pool, a 25m lane under the canopy of a jackfruit tree was designed to connect to the main house's expansion in the future and has been providing the family with fun on sunny days ever since. Inside, furniture with a timeless and authorial design creates a cozy atmosphere for the residents. The palette of natural elements, such as the wood in the structure and ceiling, the granite floor, the concrete worktop and the tiles on the kitchen wall, reinforces the country house feel initially envisioned for this family's home.
