Splashy, Sustainable Shack in São Paulo

Hoover: A colorful setting makes this 84 sq m property a dream to live in. 

 Before interior designer Fábio Galeazzo came into the picture, this urban shack was a run-down home built in the 1930s that had poor ventilation and low ceilings. According to Galeazzo, there were many sleepless nights of wondering how to breathe new life into the shack without destroying the home's existing structure. "My clients are in the design industry, and they live in São Paulo — the fifth largest metropolitan area in the world, so it's crowded and swelling with people," says Galeazzo. "I wanted to create a weekend retreat that separated them from the chaos that comes with living in an urban place without destroying the home." The result, completed in June 2011, is a converted urban shack with an open floor plan that incorporates the couple's love of nature without shying away from color.

Although São Paulo enjoys temperate weather throughout the year, it still has to suffer through some humid, subtropical days. Overlapping shade sails cool what's stored underneath and extend the color patchwork on the interior and exterior brick walls into the sky.
