The carport-style garage is situated at the center of the home with the living spaces arranged around it in two volumes. Concrete stairs lead from the lower level to the main living level on the upper floor. The garage and the verandas play an important role in the relationship between external and interior spaces, says architect Gaú Manzi. From the garage, one can see the landscape through the house itself and into the living room, kitchen ,and library, as the construction is rather transparent.
Generous walkways and verandas around the open garage expand the living space outside and connect the two living volumes.
