Castro House emerges as the conception of a project that unites brutalism with modern New York architecture.

The project consists of two distinct levels that separate the social area which is open to an internal garden with swimming pool, and the private area where the bedrooms and the main entrance are located, which preserve the customer’s privacy through a monolithic facade in exposed concrete.

The choice of bricks, concrete and metallic structure reinforces the client’s desire for his residence to be a large ‘’man cave’’, in connection with brutalism concept that maintains Castro House with an austere aspect, which receives a counterpoint of color from the vegetation and the copper panel.
