BLUE HOUSE

Located at Praia de Algodões, on the Maraú Peninsula, Bahia, the project, designed for a young couple to receive guests, was created around the existing sand court. 

The main volume, an 80m² pavilion, includes three suites, one of which has a small living room and kitchen. The linear layout of the spaces provides a broad visual connection with the landscape and vegetation, as well as the surrounding areas. The terrace runs parallel to the construction, expanding the usable area of the suites. The pavilion's structure, combined with the simplicity of the materials, integrates with the environment. The elevation of the house from the ground adds lightness and permeability to the construction.

The bungalow, entirely made of wood and attached to the main volume, was designed as a social area. It features an open and airy gourmet space where indoor and outdoor environments are integrated through the 
presence of an outdoor deck that runs perpendicularly across the covered space. Within the protected area, wooden planks, used as tables and arranged in opposite directions, structure the space, creating an integrated and cozy environment.
