The house was horizontally sited into its site, a
strong relationship and environmental concernsmake the project keep the
natural landscape and sloping topography, in a way that the house floats
on the spot creating two different levels of occupations. A couple of steps
leads to the entrance, from the house a stair connect the green outside
area where the swimming pool and the barbecue are placed.
In order to have the best orientation, in a tropical county, the
house closes itself from the front street view, which is west, and opens
into the backyard, creating a private and integrated place. That way, on the
front facade, architectural elements, as a narrow windows and a
pare-soleil was used to protect the house against solar irradiation,
while the back facade, on east side, completely integrate the inside with the
outside, through large windows, sliding doors and a porch, connecting the
housewith the green area.
As a result, in a first contact with the
house, it seems like a closed box, where you see the volume of the garage and
the front entrance. Totally different from the experience of getting in the
house and only then, discover the amply space, fully of natural light and
the visual connection with the natural landscape. Via
