Vilanova Artigas is known for building residential houses and one of his projects' main attribute are ramps. We analyzed five single-families residential projects with ramps designed by Vilanova Artigas built in the city of Sao Paulo in the decade of 1950. The research aim was to study these five selected projects and explore how the ramps were operationalized by the architect. For the project's analysis, eletronic mockup's were designed, and further diagrams were produced through the project's plans, sections, and elevations. We further compared the houses according to their site implantation, ramps' usage and visuals in the house rooms distribution. We observed that the ramps were not only designed for circulation, but also contributed to better organize and integrate the houses' rooms, and in some cases it also functioned as a living space. This study was the first to compare different designs of built houses with ramps by Vilanova Artigas focusing on the role of ramps in housing projects. We found important applications for its use in future architectural projects.
