Harmonia 57 by Triptyque Architects

Harmonia 57 is a residential project by france’s triptyque architects and is located in a neighborhood in the west side of Sao Paulo. Like a living organism, the building breathes, sweats and modifies itself, transcending its inertia. Most noticeably the home’s face is covered in small holes filled with vegetation. In this great building, where the rain and soil waters are drained, treated and reused, a complex ecosystem is formed within the local. The front face also has massive louvered doors which open up the windows or shade it from the sun. “Its volume is quite simple, but also remarkable: two grand vegetal blocks are connected by a metallic footbridge, cut by concrete and glass windows and terraces. Between the blocks a internal plaza opens like a clearing and acts like a place of encountering.”
