A perfect day for a visit to another home. This is what I am thinking, as I sit here blogging from my friend’s home during Day 4 of our power outage. (shout out to Karin & Ryu for being so accommodating- their place is so much more inspirational than the local library.)

But I digress…

This three story home in the city of São Paulo is quite spacious at 1000 sq m / 10,800 sq ft. Architect John Armentano, who also doubled as the interior designer, worked with his clients to execute some very clear visions. The space had to be open but cozy, have expansive views of the city and limit the number of furnishings for future party guests. Check, check and check!
