A few homes, well told. Each one began with a family’s idea.

Casa Sartorio

YOUR RENEWED HOME · YOUR HOME, BUILT

Terrace under the timber pergola, with natural-fiber armchairs and the living room behind the glass.

Before

A house from the 1950s that needed renovating. The owners wanted it modern, but the in-laws of one of them did not want it to lose its essence: the challenge was to create something new that told a story from the past.

The process

The spaces, once closed off and isolated, became open and connected. The house’s original roof became part of it again: today it is the roof of the grill pavilion.

Today

The lights are controlled from a phone, and the smart locks open from anywhere with an app.

Dining room open to the garden through floor-to-ceiling glazing.

Dining room with a natural-fiber lamp and a view of the garden.

Dining area and kitchen open to the garden.

Integrated living and dining area, with timber beams and glazing onto the garden.

YOUR NEW HOME

The idea

For Carlos it was very important that the house could welcome people: his friends, his family and also his clients. He had had the idea for a long time, but he was afraid it would not turn out the way he pictured it.

The design

He wanted the land to flow into the house. The office is on the upper floor, where he also receives his clients.

The result

The house was conceived as an extension of who he is: a place for his family life that also strengthens his professional life.

First phase of the design: the pool with the house behind.

First phase of the design: the integrated living area and kitchen.

First phase of the design: the dining area with large windows.

House in Paraguarí

YOUR HOME, BUILT

A crane lifts the timber roof trusses, with the hills of Paraguarí behind.

The idea

It is the dream of an industrialist from northern Italy. The design comes from Italy and is being built with technology and materials brought from there, in coordination with the Italian team of technicians, engineers and architects. It is being built exactly as it was conceived.

The build

It has thermal insulation panels and a ventilated air cavity, from the foundations to the roof, that protects the house from moisture. In the concrete, the temperature is monitored, slump tests are carried out and curing times are respected.

The goal

The owner’s goal is for the house to need no maintenance for 30 years. BONINI makes sure he does not have to step away from running his business.
