Completed in 2019 in Centro Histórico de São Paulo, Brazil. Images by Fran Parente. This approximately 70-square meter apartment is located in the E section of the iconic Copan Building, São Paulo, Brazil. The project was conceived.
With reclaimed materials and an open, airy design, Casa Iporanga by architect Daniel Fromer melds with its verdant surroundings.
When a Brazilian family decided to add guest accommodations to their holiday beach home in Iporanga, a coastal area of São Paulo, they knew they wanted a building that would seamlessly blend into the landscape. The family approached area architect Daniel Fromer, who specializes in the use of local materials and construction techniques, for a guest home that appears to grow from the forest. The intention was to be completely integrated with the surroundings, says Fromer. We achieved this through large openings and eliminating the boundaries between interior and exterior.
