BL House
Londrina, Brazil
BL HOUSE Adapting the house structure to a narrow lot in a condominium in Londrina,
Brazil was the greatest challenge of this building designed by Guilherme Torres.
In order to take advantage of the natural characteristics of the land in
relation to its neighbours, the house was partially lowered in the social area,
where it recedes 5m from the street. This receding provided the environs with abundance
of natural light with the bonus of privacy in both the social and leisure areas.
The structures of the house hide their actual functions, making it look
serene as well as impressive. Its elongated structure is parted by a wood box. Within
the wood box one can find the stairwell and the main entrance on one side and
the service area entrance on the other side. As the doors and the structure
have been wainscoted, they become appropriately concealed in the composition.
The garage has a gentle slope paved with stones, giving the structure an
elegant look.
Wood, stone and masonry
work are conspicuous in the whole house. The structures were designed and built
in with concrete and metal structures, which made the house lighter. The living
area was sealed with glass and aluminium, yet integrating it with the swimming
pool. The brick pillars were coated with sisal rope, material which is
abundantly found in Brazil. The project allocates the spaces in a linear form, and
all the bedrooms have French windows overlooking the leisure area. The
home-theatre above the garage holds a winter garden providing the couple with privacy.Photographs by Beto Consorte
