最初由現代主義建筑師Zenon Lotufo在20世紀40年代末設計，這個位于巴西圣保羅的住宅在Felipe Hess的手中做了重新的設計和延伸。 最初的單層房子增加了“蝴蝶”形屋頂，形成一個新的頂樓和一個附屬建筑。 前院的景觀完全被重新設計，更加適應當代家庭的日常起居生活。

Originally designed by modernist architect Zenon Lotufo in the late 1940s, this house in Sao Paulo, Brazil underwent a complete renovation and an extension designed by Felipe Hess. Initially a single-level house with ‘butterfly’ shaped roof, the structure received a new top floor and a little outbuilding. The front of the house has also been completely redesigned in order to accommodate the new family, giving the home an update fit for contemporary living. 

該項目旨在突出原有的建筑元素，同時在現代和中世紀之間達到完美的平衡。整個空間原有的布局不復存在，經過設計師的重新組合，新增的的樓梯通往二樓，實現書房和家庭影院的功能，綜合考量之后二層擴建與原建筑和諧共存。

The project aims to highlight the original architectural elements, while striking a perfect balance between the contemporary and the mid-century. The original layout of the home has been the subject of a huge re-adaptation – new bathrooms have been constructed, the space has been reworked and reorganised, and a new staircase has been designed leading to the new upper floor, housing the study and the home cinema. Following the organic shapes of the original design elements, the new upper volume delicately rest on the lover level, existing in complete harmony with the rest of the house.

這是設計師擁有的超能力，根據空間不同注入活力，搭配溫暖、個性的家具與燈飾?？偸悄芙o我們出乎意料的驚喜。

And then there’s all the furniture… Boy oh boy! If there’s one thing Brazilian architects and designers know how to nail, apart from umm… everything, it’s their finely tuned ability to inject a space with just enough warmth and personality with furniture, lighting, art and other objects, always leaving us wanting more.
