Honestly, that front roof line could be either one, but to me it looks late 60s.

QUADROS House / gruta.arquitetos
Bauru, Brazil
333 m² = 3584 ft²
Photographs: Daniel Santo

The house design was developed to accommodate a couple and their three children. On a 620m² lot within a gated community, care was taken to ensure the layout was compartmentalized in a way that the required setbacks could integrate the social spaces.

By densifying the private areas into a longitudinal block, it became possible to understand how to configure the layout, and the starting point emerged.
The family shares an integrated dynamic, practicing music, visual arts, and gastronomy. Occasionally, the activities occur simultaneously, and the suggestion of a permeable social environment facilitated the communion between the practices.The social area encompasses virtually the entire functional program of the house, with an office/studio and living/music room separated by a clearing with a jaboticaba tree and an adjoining kitchen/barbecue area, transitioning to the back where the swimming pool and television room are located.

There would be no separation between the Living Room and Kitchen/Dining. I like the idea of walking in and being able to see all the way to the back of the house.

Also, that Jack-and-Jill bedroom/playroom arrangement wouldn’t fly. I can think of nothing worse than growing up and having to share a room with my sister. I mean, I love her to death and all, but c’mon.

At least this one has a chimney! 🤣
