The sketch of the ground floor of Leibniz Villa was developed in a few hours during a trip I made to São Paulo, in 2005. It was motivated by all the beauty of the city and by the architectural repertoire that I already had. It was a breath of inspiration that led me to the complete design of the ground floor, with the use of a turret in one of the corners, a curved ledge on the other side of the façade, a staircase inspired by an old mansion in the city and distribution of the social spaces centralized by two symmetrical galleries. As for the style of this mansion, I didn't have a definite inspiration either and, to elaborate its facades, I decided to incorporate some oriental and even Moorish elements. The result was a very exotic and unique decoration among my mansions, still reflecting all the refinement and glamor of my architecture.
