Modern Facade on Gorgeous Home by Drucker Arquitetura

Swimming pool and modern facade on The Morumbi Residence by Drucker Arquitetura

The Morumbi Residence is gorgeous modern home designed by Drucker Arquitetura in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Even though it looks like every other house, there is one thing that catched my attention and forced me to take a better look at this home.


It is modern facade that defines this house. There are many residences with beautiful open and modern facades, like this amazing home where facade is taken to another level by making it green and sustainable. Some facades can be fully closed like on this impressive house. You would easily survive the zombie apocalypse in there.


Open or closed, facades are like faces of our homes, therefore, they define them and make them beautiful, impressive, ugly, modern, traditional, etc. Speaking of this home, that minimalist two floor tall glass wall is just amazing. With all the palm trees planted in the backyard, it creates beautiful atmosphere. Interiors look wide open almost like there's nothing between interiors and outdoor living space. And piano fits there as well. What do you think?

Refreshing Brazilian Home by Reinach Mendonça Arquitetos Associados

Terrace of Refreshing Brazilian Home by Reinach Mendonça Arquitetos Associados

MG Residence is beautiful refreshing home designed by Reinach Mendonça Arquitetos Associados in western Sao Paulo, Brazil. Its open floor plan layout allows nice communication between indoor and outdoor living space which is perfect for the place with weather like Sao Paulo.


Starting from the street, the house is literally surrounded with huge palm trees. Which is great, they provide much needed shade and create nice exotic atmosphere. Wooden doors on white facade are also pointing out on warm and fresh atmosphere. The "T" shaped, 25-meter long swimming pool in the backyard is designed to fulfill needs of the family whose passion is swimming.


The house itself offers 4 floors of contemporary living space with 10 car garage in the basement. My favorite part of this home is modern living room with double floor ceiling. Glass walls on the ground floor allow that connection with the backyard that we usually see in today's modern homes. Plus, you can jump into the swimming pool from your living room. How cool is that. I also love wooden textures on the upper floor. Looks great among all that glass and concrete.
