Other Projects by Gisele Taranto Arquitetura
Brise House
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Type
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2014
SIZE
3000 sqft - 5000 sqft
The project consists in a renovation of a house located in a noble neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The object of intervention is set on a lively area. Therefore one of the most challenging aspects of the design for the brazilian architect Gisele Taranto, was the noise control, which had great influence in the final look of the architecture itself.
The main guidelines to solve this question was to turn the house to an interior courtyard, while movable shutters were integrated to the main facade, working as noise filters, but at the same time letting natural light into the space.
The courtyard, integrated to the living area, also lets natural light inside all rooms, one of the main principals of the project concept. The gardens - that surround the whole structure - let the green foliage visually connected to the interior area through glass panels that build the facade.
The house was originally composed by two separate buildings. Their integration was also an important key point of this project. Only one main block was created, with living area on the ground floor and private areas on the second floor, all directed to the interior courtyard, where the swimming pool and a living room were located.
There was a huge concern in keeping the original features of the house, like the stairs, for example, that had its original structure kept and was updated to contemporaneity through the materials and the new rail made of iron. Were also kept the Portuguese tiles from the dining room.
On the other hand, the decoration focused on quality and elegance, rather then trends or styles. Spartan tones such as white, grey and black were privileged above others and almost all of the furniture used are signed by Brazilian and Italian designers.
