Throughout history, architects have continually demonstrated their remarkable ability to transform ordinary and fundamental materials into extraordinary works of art. They have consistently proven that the concept behind a project holds equal significance to its execution. Keeping this in mind, let us delve into the captivating realm of architectural brilliance and explore an intriguing residence nestled in the vibrant landscape of Brazil.
The house is built from simple materials such as concrete, stone, steel, wood and glass
It was designed and built by studio Costaveras Arquitetos and it’s modeled after a very unusual and specific concept. The client found inspiration in an image of a house that had been used as a filming location for a sci-fi movie. Using that as reference, the architects came up with a plan to create a house that looks and feels similar but that’s also designed specifically for their client and their needs. The result was this amazing two-story concrete house.
The lower two flors are separated by a metal surface which extends to form a large pergola outside
The house is structured into three big volumes which are intertwined and communicate with each other in various ways. As a general rule, the lower and upper levels have different functions. Down below is where all the social areas are situated. The living room and the kitchen are connected and there’s also a home theater, a wine cellar and a beautiful balcony which can be accessed via large sliding doors.
The warm wood contrasts with the rest of the materials and soften their harsh and industrial nature
That allows the interior to open up to the outdoors and brings the house closer to its beautiful surroundings. The upper floor houses the master suite with its large closet and two extra bathrooms as well as a large terrace and sunroom with the best views in the house. In total there’s 393 square meters of space to be enjoyed all year round, a beautiful yard with a swimming pool and a perfect green lawn to contrast with all the concrete and stone on the exterior of the house.
