On a tiny lot, on a corner in the heart of the city, this “tinyhouse” explores verticality, privacy and permeability.
Opening between the vegetation and against the sun, the façade panels guarantee the desired level of privacy at every hour of the day.
The panels are pivoting frames coated with extruded aluminum sheets.
When closed, the panels give clarity to the house's volumetric reading, where wood, concrete and metal take turns.
Transparency and permeability take turns from the front closing of the land, vertically and horizontally, in metal, wood and concrete.
Viewed from the inside, the panels reveal all their transparency, ensuring rich visual contact with the vegetation and the city.
The opening angles of the panels allow you to control the sun's entry into the house.Contemporary Japanese houses, also built on small lots, were an important inspiration to see possibilities in that place. What guided the project was a distribution of environments on the floors that allowed suitable areas for all activities. Contemporary Brazilian houses that use shading filters as a façade element inspired us to create the upper volume.
