Eduardo Leiton Residence

A 264-square-meter contemporary residence in Ciudad Cariari, generated through a disciplined compositional exercise where crisp geometric massing, recessed planes, and sunlight shadows shape the aesthetic expression. The street facade balances pure white surfaces with textured natural stone accents and rhythmically scaled fenestrations. Inside, the program unfolds around an expansive double-height social living volume bathed in natural daylight, seamlessly connecting the gourmet open kitchen, living room, and rear garden terrace.
