The residential project, named after the São Conrado neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, derives its name, Piacenza, from the birthplace of Saint Conrad (São Conrado in Portuguese) in northern Italy. The contemporary and elongated shape of the terrain, coupled with its gentle slope, significantly influenced the project's configuration.
The overarching concept aimed to craft a comfortable home with a serene ambiance, seamlessly integrating nature through open spaces, abundant natural light, and ventilation. The incorporation of a green roof system enhances thermal comfort, while rainwater and graywater reuse, along with solar panels atop the structure, emphasize sustainable practices.
Spanning three floors, the lower level features social access, the owner's office with an independent entrance, a gym, sauna, and laundry. The main floor houses the social area, seamlessly connecting the living, dining, and kitchen spaces, extending to the outdoor area with a balcony, gourmet kitchen, solarium, and swimming pool. The expansive sliding glass doors effortlessly merge the interior and exterior, creating a unified and spacious environment. Guest suites on this floor are strategically positioned for tranquility and privacy.
The upper floor, secluded from the rest, hosts the residents' master suite with a bedroom, closet, and bathroom interconnected by large sliding doors, complemented by a green terrace overlooking the lower floor. A central staircase box, crafted from concrete and wood, serves as a communication hub across all levels, featuring a triple-height, glazed facade and a corten steel brise soleil for solar gain control.
The residence's structure combines reinforced concrete and metal elements, creating a visual interplay between the lightness and slenderness of steel and the robustness of concrete. The rear section houses vehicle access and the garage at the same level as the main floor.
