    The house itself can barely be seen from the street as it is nestled under and behind a large, oversized centenarian tree. Zalszupin’s architecture refers to both his Scandinavian and Brazilian influences. “It’s a house where he experimented a lot with different references, mixing them together, from traditional Brazilian elements like the rough stucco wall treatments, to the Scandinavian looking curved wood ceiling”, explains Carmona. The interiors have a carefully orchestrated sequence of spatial contractions and expansions, low ceilings that give way to double-height spaces, and openings that carefully calibrate views and lights with a most engaging effect and an overall feeling of shelter.

    In order to protect and spread the heritage of Zalszupin, as well as the history of Brazilian design, ETEL now announces its newest initiative: Casa Museu Zalszupin. The designer's residence will be transformed into a center of reference, documentation and dissemination of this collection of great cultural importance, to be the seat of the Jorge Zalszupin Institute in the future. Almeida & Dale Galeria de Arte, which in unison with ETEL's values, aims to promote the works of Brazilian artists, enters as a partner in the project, and together they aim to keep this space alive, creating new dialogues between Zalszupin's architecture and great names in the history of Brazilian design and art.
