The Dr. Mario Totta Residence was designed by the Foxprime team, with project leadership and design by Matheus Simon. The house is situated on a 12-meter-high site and includes a large house for the client and his wife, as well as a smaller house at the back of the site for his grandmother.

The client requested a spacious kitchen, three large bedrooms in the main house, a three-car garage, and a barbecue area.

The concept was developed as linear and connected houses, with a cubic wooden block at the front, creating a clean and minimalist design. The house uses the site’s elevation to create different levels, adding movement throughout the residence.
