Isay Weinfeld :: Casa Cubo













Isay Weinfeld was commissioned by a couple of art collectors to create a house they could use to present exhibitions, host parties and house guests during events such as the SΓ£o Paulo Art Biennial.
Furniture chosen for the living room includes pieces by Alvar Aalto, Pierre Jeanneret, Gio Ponti and Lina Bo Bardi.
Casa Cubo is a three-storey building in SΓ£o Paulo's Jardins district. A double-height living room on the ground floor is the largest space in the house. With white walls and a poured concrete floor, it offers a blank canvas for displaying pantings, sculptures and a selection of designer furniture pieces. Two staircases are visible inside the room. On one wall a folded steel staircase leads up to a first-floor mezzanine accommodating a library, while on the opposite side a wooden staircase ascends from the first floor to three bedrooms at the top of the house.
