The project describes a garden-house for a family as a refuge and meeting place. Where estudio karina kreth collaborated with estudio arquitecturam on the vision, and identity of the project. This vision located the emphasis in the “runway” entrance with the large window frame located in the end with almost an infinite view. This made that, in its center, the patio space that intertwines the different house levels, needed to break with verticality this flat linearity, for which we projected a linear railing of sorts, designed in a large color plane. The decision to manipulate the verticality of the structure, added to the decision to frame certain carpentry according to their use in the program, allowed us to decipher where to locate the public and the private areas in relation to the amount and the way they received sunlight. Nature in its materials, accompanies the exterior and open views, and makes the house visually attractive through the change of seasons.
The natural materials make it haptical, its visitors are able to listen to the house, all the senses are blooming. The landscaping made nature become a part of daily life and got its own aroma. The main rooms are supported by the distribution linked to the furniture designed on site, and its viewpoints, part of the main project envelope.
