O Riad — a house for events and experiences in Porto Feliz, São Paulo
A house built for hosting.
Porto Feliz, Brazil · since 2006
An estate in the countryside of São Paulo, built with no commercial plan behind it — only the will to make something here that did not exist here. Arches, courtyards, running water, wood worked by hand.
For almost two decades the house was lived in before it was opened. Today it hosts one event at a time — a wedding, a company gathering, a production — and whoever arrives has the whole of it.
To create moments that transform people and strengthen the ties between them.
The estate
Hover over the numbers
-
01
Main House
High ceilings, natural light and arches. Long dinners, and a covered ceremony when it rains.
-
02
Inner courtyards
The Moroccan signature: shade, cross ventilation and the sound of water nearby.
-
03
The arrival
The gravel drive, the bend, and the first sight of the house through the trees.
-
04
Gardens
Corridors, corners and clearings. They serve as ceremony, as cocktail hour, and as an escape from the party.
-
05
Pool
Lunch in the sun, dinner by candlelight, dancing after. It changes purpose three times in one night.
-
06
Event hall
The long volume to the right of the pool — where the big party happens.
-
07
Nine suites
Lodging inside the event itself. Nobody has to drive home.
-
08
Pavilion
A free-standing structure on the lawn, covered and open at once.
