Xingu  House  emerges  from  a  careful  reading  of  the  site:  a  terrain  composed  of  natural  plateaus, stone  walls,  and  preserved  patches  of  forest.  From  this  irregular  geography,  the  project  seeks  to understand  how  architecture  could  lean  on  the  terrain,  open  itself  to  the  landscape,  and  build  a continuous relationship between the body of the house and the mountain.

The  main  volume  of  the  house  rests  on  the  old  stone  walls,  reaching  for  the  view  and  floating above  the  ground.  Its  form  is  organized  into  three  sectors,  three  wings  projecting  in  distinct directions,  each  responding  to  a  specific  fragment  of  the  landscape.  At  the  highest  point—six meters  above  the  natural  level—are  the  two  main  suites,  designed  as  a  continuous  viewpoint toward  the  mountains.  The  other  two  wings  rest  on  the  existing  plateau  and  house  the  living  room, guest  bedrooms,  office,  and  kitchen—enclosed  spaces  that  open  toward  the  upper  contour  of  the site, dissolving boundaries between interior and exterior.

The  support  of  this  fluid  form  is  achieved  through  six  concrete  pillars  shaped  like  sculptures.  They are  thick,  asymmetrical,  and  almost  monolithic.  Instead  of  hiding  the  structure,  the  project  turns  it into  a  gesture:  the  pillars  become  presence.  Each  one  accommodates  essential functions—bathrooms,  stairs,  the  elevator—transforming  itself  into  inhabited  space.  The  house rests lightly upon these concrete sculptures, as if touching the terrain only where necessary.

On  the  lower  level,  in  direct  contact  with  the  ground,  lies  the  leisure  area:  an  open  space integrated  with  the  pool,  bar,  and  resting  zones.  It  is  also  on  this  level  that  an  existing  underground gallery  on  the  site  was  incorporated  into  the  project  and  adapted  as  a  wine  cellar,  connecting  the new construction to what remained from the former occupation.

Detached  from  the  main  body,  within  the  preserved  forest,  sits  the  spa—an  independent  volume that  settles  among  the  trees  without  suppressing  the  vegetation.  It  contains  the  sauna,  resting rooms, and gym, forming a retreat immersed in the natural environment.

Xingu  House  is  built  as  a  continuous  dialogue  between  topography,  structure,  and  experience—an architecture  that  rests  on  sculptural  pillars,  follows  the  terrain,  opens  to  the  landscape,  and  allows nature to pass through its voids.
