A pavilion was recently built as an extension to the Hacienda Matao in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It was constructed on the side of a lake between a large crop of citrus trees. The great artist Sergio Fingermann framed the entrance to the plaza with one of his designs made out of authentic Portuguese stone. The pavilion is shaped by two volumetric triangular walls that face each other, creating the access and main corridor between the two spaces. The first wall flows into the body of water forming at the end a large terrace covered with a pergola. It also creates an access to the water through a staircase located at one of its ends. The second triangle which is located over the ground creates a volume in which the dining area, kitchen, bathroom and storage areas can be found; all of these are covered by a green roof and on its side there is also another terrace that overlooks the lake.
