Set in São Paulo state’s countryside, Riberão Preto Residence was designed by Perkins   Will. Photography: Leonardo Finotti

Lush green landscapes, clean shapes, open interiors, surfaces of raw concrete and indigenous woods; it’s hard not to like the brand of tropical modernism for which Brazil has become so well known. The newly built Riberão Preto Residence, set within the green nature of upstate São Paulo’s countryside, is a distinctive example of the genre, featuring all of the above – and then some.

郁郁葱葱的绿色景观，干净的形状，开阔的内部，原始的混凝土和原始森林的表面；很难不喜欢热带现代主义的品牌，巴西已经如此出名。新建成的Riber o Preto住宅，以圣保罗北部乡村的绿色为背景，是这一类型的一个鲜明的例子，具有上述所有特点-然后还有一些。

International architecture practice Perkins   Will is behind the dramatic design of the house, and while working globally, the firm aptly adapted its style and approach to the specific project’s local demands. The commission, a holiday home for a family of four, who wanted to escape the country’s bustling metropoles and relax in a serene, natural setting, outlined a unique, ‘one-story-house’ with a strong personality.

国际建筑实践珀金斯将是背后的戏剧性设计的房子，并在全球工作时，公司适当地调整其风格和方法，以满足具体项目的当地需求。该委员会是一个四口之家的度假之家，他们想逃离这个国家熙熙攘攘的大都市，在一个宁静、自然的环境中放松，勾勒出一座独特的、“一层楼”的房子，有着强烈的个性。

The architects duly obliged and negotiated a sharply sloped terrain to accommodate the structure’s key three volumes. The residence’s living areas are hosted within two low, orthogonal elements, which are positioned in an L-shape. A third piece is the complex’s pool, which juts out from the composition towards the garden, marking its presence through an eye-catching contrast between the natural context and its raw concrete shape.

建筑师们适当地承担和协商了一个急剧倾斜的地形，以适应该结构的关键三卷。住宅的生活区位于两个低的、正交的元素中，它们的位置都是L形的。第三个部分是建筑群的水池，它从构图向花园突出，通过自然环境和原始混凝土形状之间引人注目的对比来标识它的存在。

Naked concrete and warm wood are complemented by metal elements and large expanses of glazing that maintain a contemporary material palette while adding lightness to the construction. At the same time, the floor-to-ceiling openings and an abundance of terraces and other outdoor spaces ensure the outside and inside merge gracefully.

裸露的混凝土和温暖的木材与金属元素和大面积的玻璃补充，保持了现代材料的调色板，同时增加了建筑的轻盈。同时，从地板到天花板的开口和丰富的露台和其他户外空间确保内外优雅地融合在一起。

The interiors were equally carefully planned. The architects created open and closed spaces, as well as views through and across levels, so that the owners’ rich art collection can be on view from different parts of the house, bringing art, nature and architecture neatly together within a single space. §

对内部进行了同样细致的规划。建筑师们创造了开放和封闭的空间，以及通过和跨越层次的观点，以便业主“丰富的艺术收藏”可以从房子的不同部分观看，使艺术、自然和建筑在单一的空间内整齐地融合在一起。
