Nicholas Préaud：Casa Atibaia坐落在圣保罗Atibaia河畔，是一个隐于森林、与自然共生的景观住宅。对巴西人来说，现代主义就是虽然生活在室内，却依然仿佛置身于户外自然的美好。基于其在沉静的大自然中蜿蜒旋转的纯净优雅的坡道和楼梯，以及轻盈的立面玻璃，Casa Atibaia便是这样一个介于精致虚无和粗粝原始之间的现代主义住宅。

Nicholas Préaud：Located on the Atibaia river in São Paulo, Casa Atibaia is a home that inhabits the forest by coexisting around and in-between the landscape rather than imposing on nature. For us Brazilian modernism is all about living inside with the illusion of being outside, the purity and elegance of ramps and staircases gently swirling around in a contemplative nature with a lightness of glass façades. Casa Atibaia sits between this delicate and airy essence and a more brutal and primitive aspect.

住宅结构遵循几何现代主义原则，利用宽敞开放的曲线形有机内庭院，与周围的植被相呼应，在外部和内部之间架起了一座联系的桥梁。而景观本身又进一步打破了边界，成为住宅的设计支撑元素；整个建筑都建立在原有的岩石上，这些岩石作为自然的引航，形成了一种更加原始的现代主义语言，同时，它们在一定程度上也兼具室内的功能，比如浴室和更衣室完全由岩石雕刻而成，较小的岩石则作为装饰元素，统一了住宅的流畅布局。

The structure of the home follows the geometric modernist principles yet opens up onto an expansive organic inner courtyard that curves and responds to the surrounding vegetation, bridging a gap between the outside and inside. This boundary is further broken down by the landscape itself acting as a supporting element of the home; the entire structure is built around pre-existing rocks as natural pilotis, a more brutalist take on the modernist language. These rocks also occupy the interior to a functional extent, the bathroom and dressing room is carved entirely out of such forms with the smaller rocks acting as furnishing elements, dictating the fluid layout of the home.

室内家具中既有现代主义宝石、古董，也有Pierre Augustin Rose、Charlotte Perriand和Pierre Chapo等艺术家设计的现代艺术品。

The residing furniture is a balance of modernist gems, antique pieces and more contemporary additions with the likes of Pierre Augustin Rose, Charlotte Perriand and Pierre Chapo.
