The JZL House is located in a residential area of Leblon neighborhood, Rio de Janeiro. The program is distributed in
three floors: basement, ground and upper floors, which house service, social and intimate sectors, respectively.

The upper deck is protected by vertical self-supporting cast glass louvers, which – together with the hanging gardens
and windows – act as filters for the light and ensure privacy to the intimate sector. The modulation of the collective
bedroom and playroom allows for their future subdivision, which will enable each one of the three children to have his
own room. This volume is structured by two cores on the ground floor that house the kitchen on one side, and office,
cellar and toilet on the other.

The living and dining rooms can be fully integrated with the outside deck. The intention was to create a large space
where the boundaries between interior and exterior were diluted.

The house is dislocated off the site’s back boundary in order to create a natural lighting shaft that reaches all floors.

The new divisare books are small format pocket-book size, in limited editions of 200 copies, high-resolution digital printed, bound, with a
hardcover, finished in fine English paper. Titles on the cover are silver foil hot stamped. We attach great importance to the tactile quality
of the book as an object as well as, of course, its contents. Unlike the web that runs fast and vanishes faster, leaving no trace, Our books
have the aim of lasting in time. The idea is simple: printed paper instead of pixels; we just want to invite you to get away from the screens
of your devices for a moment, to sit back in a favorite armchair and enjoy a good read, in the old fashioned way.

HELP US SWIM AGAINST THE TIDE.
Join us in taking a stand against the short attention architecture media.

Divisare is the result of an effort of selection and classification of contemporary architecture conducted
for over twenty years. Patient work, done with care, image after image, project after project, to offer
you the ideal tool with which to organize your knowledge of contemporary architecture. Instead of a
quick, distracted web, we want a slow, attentive one. Instead of hastily perused information, we prefer
knowledge calmly absorbed. This is why Divisare is a place to perceive architecture slowly, without dis-
tractions. No click — like — tweet — share, no advertising, banners, pop-ups. Just architecture, no more
and no less. If you like what we’re doing, please Subscribe (/subscriptions). You will get full access to
