Text description provided by the architects. In a large plot of land very well chosen by this beautiful family, the initial request and main importance for the project was to maximize the open areas and prioritize greenery.

The house was to be designed for the young couple and their two children, in addition to accommodating friends and family guests. With the strong trend of home office, we were also asked for a spacious office where they could work and store their books. As sports enthusiasts, they requested a lap pool, a soccer field, a Beach Tennis court, and a complete gym.

Thinking about leisure and well-being, it was decided that the gourmet space would have unique privilege in the layout, being the main space of the house and maintaining proximity to the playroom, saunas, and, of course, easy access to the kitchen.

Analyzing the lot, we quickly realized that two factors coincided in the same direction: the northeast face of the rising sun and the most interesting view, so it was clear that the entire project should open toward that direction.

Immediately, in order to expand the field of vision, we positioned the residence to the left of the lot, "turning its back" to the hotter western sun, protecting the most important environments from overheating and ensuring morning sunlight for the suites. To maintain the privacy of its residents, the layout was ultimately composed in an "L" shape, shielding from possible street views.

Following the premise of coziness and balance, we found in natural materials the ideal language. On the ground floor, creating the structural and conceptual "base", we specified heavier elements, such as moledo stone.

On the upper floor, bringing the necessary lightness to an environment that floats above another, we designed vertically ribbed panels, strengthening the initial symmetry. As a conclusion to the concept, a delicate exposed Glulam roof completes the gourmet space at the back, and primarily the main elevation of the house.
