Brazilian studio FGMF Arquitetos has designed this white house in the suburbs of São Paulo to feature stilted volumes atop a glazed living room with views of an infinity pool.

Casa Neblina is two-storey concrete residence built on a grassy hill in the Brazilian city's Iatiba neighbourhood, which known for its lush nature, rugged terrain and high quality of life.

Local studio FGMF Arquitetos designed the 400-square-metre house as a series of cubes with rendered white walls that draw a strong contrast to the green surrounds. The blocks are arranged to nestle into the top of the sloped site, and then extend out on stilts at the rear.

Large windows are placed on the rear to capture the sun and the expansive views of Itatiba's valley; however, the fronts are more closed off for privacy from the street. Inside, each volume is used to host a different function such as an office, bedrooms and bathrooms.

Steps in the middle of Casa Neblina lead down to the open-plan living room and dining room on the lower floor, lined in floor-to-ceiling windows.

A grey modular L-shaped sofa, blue chairs, an elevated black fireplace and black-rodded coffee table decorate the living room. Other furnishings include a wooden dining table and chairs, which are anchored by a black linear light fixture.

Outdoor steps provide access from here to a wooden patio that adjoins to the swimming pool. This is accompanied by a detached, two-storey pool house comprising an open-plan kitchen and living room ...
