The Classical Perfection of the Jaragua Residence

Magnificent white framing captures the airspace above and around the Jaragua Residence with aplomb.

Brilliantly imagined by Brazilian architect Fernanda Marques, the stately residence overlooks the city of São Paulo.

While the exterior is all white stucco, inside, some warm tropical woods are brought into play.

The stately progression of squared pillars creates a modular rhthym with classical proportions.

These modular pillars are reflected in the pool as it overlooks the city lights.

An internal staircase also functions as a light well, bringing sunshine deep into the heart of the structure.

The client’s art collection is given pride of place.

Space and light bathe a master bathroom in a profound sense of comfort and peace.

A perfectly placed tub in the window soaks up the light like a Vermeer.

The generous space between the tub and the sink is a major contributor to this feeling of repose.

A minimalist all-white kitchen is perfectly centred on a huge window.

Altogether, the Jaragua Residence continues a tradition of gracious architectural proportions, updated for the 21st century.
