When Marilia Pellegrini was commissioned to design Casa das Palmeiras, the aim was to create an ultimate urban sanctuary – a private residence inspired by modernist architecture that brings a sense of serenity, nature and seclusion within the folds of the bustling metropolis of São Paulo. The result does not disappoint, as this new home in the suburban enclave of Alphaville feels like stepping inside a green retreat, leaving the city's hustle and bustle at the door.

Explore Casa das Palmeiras by Marilia Pellegrini
Casa das Palmeiras' low-lying, discreet volume, slightly sunken into the ground, is almost entirely concealed from the street, turning its back to it while opening up towards an expansive paved courtyard, swimming pool and garden to the rear. Framed by native planting and tall, mature palm trees that inspired its name ('palmeira' being 'palm tree' in Portuguese), it is a home that invites visitors to step inside and discover it.
