Superquadra Penthouse Project Index

The roof contained 3 apartments that exploited the wonderful space of, and views from, the rooftops. The apartments were articulated by beautiful wooden walls that recalled the sand-fences, Blakeney Point, Norfolk that I had seen in 1989 and was able to use in the Magalhães Project and the Magalhães House, Brasília.
