From a ruined house to a respectful space | House Frugoni by Estudio Cabrera Arquitectura
The housing unit closest to the street retains greater independence; it is a duplex ideal for a small family. On the other hand, the internal units are ideal for a couple, regaining privacy through the set of openings that open onto the internal courtyard. This segmentation of housing is achieved by combining lightweight materials on traditional structures, reducing environmental impact and demolition costs; similarly, making ingenious use of the usable area.

The Butantã House | Between Concrete and Community: Domestic Architecture in the Work of Mendes da Rocha
The Butantã House, designed by Paulo Mendes da Rocha in 1964, embodies a synthesis between concrete as a material and a social conception of domestic space. Framed within the Brazilian brutalist movement—particularly in its São Paulo iteration—this work becomes an architectural manifesto where the apparent structure, functionality, and openness to the environment dialogue with ideas of collectivity.
