The SAP House sits in the Serra da Mantiqueira on a generous, steeply sloped plot of land. The design prioritizes acceptance of the existing topography rather than attempting to dominate or alter it. The building touches the ground only at necessary points, minimizing site disturbance and allowing the mountain to maintain its natural course. Geography functions as the organizing premise, resulting in a residence that appears suspended over the mountainside. Structural and siting decisions reinforce visual lightness and continuity between architecture and landscape while reducing excavation and preserving native terrain.
