a spiraling, skylit timber structure to shape this brazilian home by victor ortiz
Briefly

A new home in São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, designed by architect Victor B. Ortiz, features a unique spiraling timber beam structure that enhances the interaction with its lush surroundings. The 380-square-meter residence aims for calmness while inviting nature indoors through expansive glazing and an internal garden. The design fosters a seamless flow between social spaces on the ground floor and family suites above, all interconnected by the eye-catching spiral beams and a generous skylight that illuminates the interiors, providing a serene and immersive living environment.
The spiraling timber beam structure defining the roof both enhances natural light flow and creates a dynamic visual connection between the interior and exterior.
By integrating primary social spaces seamlessly along the ground floor, Victor Ortiz emphasizes continuity with nature, ensuring the home feels both expansive and intimate.
