On the margins of the Guaíba canal, in Rio Grande do Sul, this residence - designed
for a couple with three small children - is fully connected to the outside landscape,
which ensures abundant natural ventilation and lighting and enhances the power of
the materiality that composes the house. Wood and concrete interact in a harmonic
way, taking turns as you enter the interior; wood is sometimes on the floor, ceiling or
walls, as well as concrete, creating a dynamic and interesting circulation.

Besides providing this configuration, the materials also delimit the program; the
intimate areas are in the exposed concrete module, and the social and service areas
are in the wood-covered module. The division of these environments is made by a
central staircase, striking on the façade.

The vast terrain allowed the arrangement of most of the rooms on the first floor,
integrated to the pool and to the canal, and protected by the landscaping. The upper
floor accommodated leisure and wellness areas, such as sauna and game room.
The highlight is the lighting in the entrance hall, done through a slot in the monolithic
concrete floor, which received LEDs to highlight the wood paneling. The interiors
have contemporary design pieces, such as the Fusca Sofa, Amorfa Table and Coffee
Table Tiles by Arthur Casas.
