Indah House
The implementation of this project was determined by the property’s privileged landscape, located on Brazil’s Emerald Coast. Its main entry access is given through vertical circulation in natural stone, set about a historic fig tree. The construction concept entailslanding over a plateau and developing across axis of pathways established by the project’s sectorization.Divided into specific areas, the architectural program delineates open spaces oriented to the amplest view. A pivoting wooden totem with asymbolic graphic schemewarmly welcomes home both owner and guests through the main central axis.

Former Sao Paulo residence transformed into spacious YOGA concept
In Sao Paulo, Brazil, YOGA by Superlimao sees the conversion of a 1990s residence into a meditative place for yoga classes, with additional coworking and rental rooms.
Israel Gollino
Uses inserted into the existing fabric include a large yoga room for classes, a reception area on the ground floor, a studio and coworking area on the top floor, and a room for rent in an old smaller house located at the back of the site.
Israel Gollino
To accommodate these uses, it was necessary to transform the house - which previously had only a few openings - into a large and well-lit space. Larger spans were thus created to allow more sunlight, filtered by jute panels, to enter.

Hanging House integrates country retreat with the local ecosystem
Elevated from the natural ground level, Hanging House by Casa Container Marilia is raised from the natural ground level of its site in the Sao Paulo state in Brazil. Surrounded by native trees, windows are at the level of the treetops and balconies blend in with the branches. The earth remains largely untouched, preserving drainage and root dynamics, which were not harmed due to the minimal use of concrete foundations.
Celso Mellani
The concept is that of a country house integrated with the local ecosystem, placing sustainability and recyclability at the fore. A construction system of recycled maritime containers was thus adopted. In total 80% of materials used in the build come from recycled sources.

Morro da Manteiga House
What was the brief?
Customers came to us to fulfill an old dream: to build their own house in the countryside and live in the tranquility of the rural area, after returning from the capital Porto Alegre to the countryside. The pace and quality of life are different: being able to sit on the balcony and listen to the birds singing, being able to breathe the fresh air and sitting in the sun at any time of the day, moving the earth and even picking your own food.
Resources were limited and so it was decided to make the construction by the Minha Casa Minha Vida program - track 01, program developed by the Brazilian government for low-income families, and this directed the project from the beginning: we could not do a project that woul... Mais

Q04L63 House inspires with use of natural materials
For this family weekend home in Rifaina, Brazil, mf+arquitetos responded to the client’s wish to designate 50% of the house to social spaces such as the kitchen, dining, room, living room and pool, and 50% for private areas. In addition, a rich palette of natural materials was to be used all spaces – social and private, indoors and out.
Felipe Araújo
The private areas are located at the front of the house and connected to the remainder of the house via the main hall. A sandy travertine marble from Egypt covers the entire floor and wall areas of the main hall while in the bathroom and on countertops a black state is used. Rustic granite is employed for sidewalls while concrete slabs and Hijau stones make up th... Mais

Corten clad home designed with green space in mind
The contrast between corten steel cladding and exposed concrete highlights the sleek volumes of this Brazilian home by ES Arquitetura. Taking an ‘L-shape’ form in plan, the overlapping volumes result in a visual lightness and integration between the private upper floor and the more social ground floor areas.
SLA PhotoStudio
Functionality, as well as thermal, acoustic and visual comfort, were important aspects throughout the design process. In particular, ensuring visual connections from the interior of the house to the green space that surrounds were key.

All areas of the house feature large openings that allow in natural light and ventilation, even in the service areas of the hou... Mais

Brazilian House cleverly navigates topography with multi-level volumetric design
In Salto de Pirapora, Brazil, this house by Vereda Arquitetos is situated on a 1000 sqm plot with an 8-meter slope from front to back.

RG House
Condicionado por uma fronteira protegida ambientalmente nos fundos do relevo do terreno, a delimitação reservada para a residência RG diverge em dois fatores prioritários distintos, um ambiental e outro humano: o desnível acidentado, característico do contexto patobranquense, e o valor contemplativo que a vegetação preservada oferece aos moradores no limite mais privado do lote.
O projeto, então, propõe uma alternativa que concilia esses dois aspectos. A partir da rua, a casa se estende do limite superior do lote para os fundos, de forma a liberar a declividade do terreno enquanto se adequa à mesma, criando uma área sombreada sobre o solo e vinculand... Mais

JK House
Composed by two fundamental aspects: structural design and nature, this house merges building elements into a beautiful valley landscape in Paraná state - Brazil, interrelating the geographical aspect and the local topography.
Implemented as a stone inserted into the landscape, the raised ground floor on a single plateau is bounded by a concrete wall at a more private level relative to the street, adding the pool at its edge minimizing landfill impact.
The design of the structure that rests on this stone is positioned in a way so that the premise of the proposal could it be revealed in the access as a sculptural piece that unites structure and architecture, keeping the natural concrete with strong appeal to the local techniques . T... Mais

Crixá Educational Center
O projeto do Centro Educacional Crixá parte da premissa de que a escola é um equipamento de transformação social. Muito além de um centro de ensino, ela deve ser concebida como um centro de convivência, um espaço aberto à comunidade, vivo e útil por todo o dia. Sua arquitetura, portanto, deve refletir esse ensejo civilizatório, postando-se de forma clara como um marco na construção do novo bairro de São Sebastião, no Distrito Federal.
