The project, named Jacupiranga House, now has a sizeable rear garden, which was previously occupied by extensions and outbuildings, added on over the years. The architects cleared up the space and used it for outdoors planting and a swimming pool; this also provided space for auxiliary rooms for the house, such as a new bathroom by the pool, a cellar and a brand new kitchen facing the dining room.
