Bandeirista architecture is a regional Brazilian colonial farmhouse style centered on the old Sao Paulo Province, most intense in the 16th and 17th centuries, typified by a classic floor plan with a centralized great hall of multiple use and a porch between two rooms of social function, a four-sloped roof and stripped lines; today only a few examples remain, including the Butanta House. No standalone Wikipedia or Wikidata item exists specifically for this style, so this entity is sourced from the "Mannerism in Brazil" article's own section describing bandeirista architecture as a distinct category among Brazilian colonial manor houses.

Among the manor houses, a separate category is formed by the so-called bandeirista architecture, generally farmhouses, developed most intensely in the old Sao Paulo Province and typified by a classic floor plan, where the centralized great hall of multiple use and the porch between two rooms of social function stand out. Its roof was four-sloped and its lines very stripped. A very common typology in the 16th and 17th centuries, today only a few examples remain, among them the Butanta House.
