Mipibu House - Exterior/Outdoor Area

This narrow house is the answer to a common space problem present in the city of Sao Paulo, a city with little space and high land values; the terrain available was of 18.4 ft*98.4ft (5.6m*30m), where only the front was free of physical obstructions. The final occupation space available was of 557.7 ft2 (170m2).

The architects' answer was to cling to the borders and make breathable spaces in the middle, creating a series of interior gardens, which also act as space separators.The ground floor was assigned to dormitory and intimate spaces, as the interior gardens gave it more privacy and silence, and the second floor was left for the house's public spaces.
