Cirell House in São Paulo (a short walk from Bo Bardi’s own home) consists of two connected volumes surrounded by verandas. Inside, a tree trunk acts as a beam to support a mezzanine level, accessible by a spiral stair.   Photo © Nelson Kon Lina Bo Bardi A cylindrical guesthouse, La Torracia, was completed in 1964.   Photo © Nelson Kon Lina Bo Bardi In 1987, the city of Salvador commissioned Bo Bardi to revitalize a cluster of derelict buildings along a hillside. She maintained some of the existing structures and adapted them to create the Ladeira da Misericórdia Housing and Commercial Complex. The development included the Coati Restaurant, with its ribbed concrete motif.   Photo © Nelson Kon Lina Bo Bardi Bo Bardi completed another project, Cerrado Church, in the state of Minas Gerais, in 1982. Rather than design a single structure, the architect created three separate volumes to house a chapel, clergy house, and community hall.   Photo © Zeuler R. M. DE A. Lima
