This project seeks to achieve the creation of pure volumes with complex structural design via its large spans and overhangs. The design aims to retain a feeling of lightness within heavy volumes.
Upon entering the house, the visitor is greeted by an interior double-height courtyard, framed by a vegetation area in the center and contained by a myrtle tree, achieving an atmosphere of warmth and tranquility. Behind the courtyard is the only staircase that connects the three levels, constructed of exposed concrete and clad in wood, offering a sculptural element.
The spaces are almost free of walls: the living and dining rooms are together in a great space that opens to the outside with sliding windows, connecting both the garden and the terrace. The open kitchen is integrated into the dining room, privileging views of the garden.
The use of expressive materials was a constant in the project. Textured, exposed concrete, steel structural beams, and walnut are the protagonists in a comprehensive proposal, combining to achieve a strong personality indoors and outdoors.
Palmas Seis House seeks to meet the needs of a specific family program, respond to the particularities of the site to link the spaces efficiently, achieve adequate filtration of natural light and ventilation, and provide a rational solution that stands out for the simplicity of its materials and the absence of artifices.
