Text description provided by the architects. In the highest condominium in the city of Birigui, in a portion on the lowest level, with an active level we contemplate the beautiful skyline of the city of Araçatuba. And so we implemented a “Glass Box”. On a plot of 308m² and its triangular design, we chose to favor its main facade to the north, and its isolated location to encourage contemplation of the horizon.

We created a “Glass Box” loose on two simple structures, where walking in its intimate areas awakens the experience and sensation of a floating walkway, towards the horizon. With insulation and ventilation studies, we developed the volume with its frontal projection to the north, taking results on the edge of the project, making its back project internal privacy, favoring working on its facade with a pure glass installation, being controlled only with the vertical curtain element, thus while walking, being able to explore the expansion of the natural landscape, with the lightness of its metallic structure.

Its main entrance is located at the upper end of the land, directing the user to pass outside the volume, passing under the 12m span of the upper projection. The project is developed with two floors, the lower one has the entire social area of ​​the house and services, where the projection of the upper volume is the nucleus that unites the spaces, making the structure as if it were a metal marquee housing everyone on the axis of the building. batch. The masonry body separates the services part, providing access to support the living area, creating a sector where the transition is hidden throughout the house.
