The DAC House in Brazil Springs Out From Its Sloped Terrain 07.27.21 DAC House in Sao Paulo, Brazil, is located on a very inclined terrain that made it challenging for the architecture studio to design the home without incorporating many stairs. Instead, GMA created different modules at different levels of the land to give distinctions to different parts of the home. At the same time, the use of stone, wood and lots of glass allows the home to visually integrate with its surroundings, creating the feeling that the home sprung out from the land. In total, five suites were designed, separating the private quarters from the service and social areas. An Alwitra roof over a metal structure allowed the creation of the home’s large plan and also promotes the integration of construction with the surrounding environment.
