Located in a condominium away from Curitiba, the Casa Moldura was designed to serve as a weekend home for a family living in a busy area of the city. Set on a large, flat rectangular plot, the project results in a single-story house that meets both the needs and program requirements.
The family's wish was for a quiet place, with the surrounding neighbors and environment being important considerations. As a solution, the house faces inward. A concrete frame is created that runs along the perimeter of the lot, dissolving at times to make space for nature, and at other times to form entire blocks. The proposal contrasts the subtle with the dense, the warm with the cold. The house itself is a sloped roof and wooden skeleton supported by a concrete block.
On the rear façade, the rhythm and simplicity of the laminated wood structure were created in partnership with ITA Construtora. The house blends distinct construction technologies—reinforced concrete in areas more vulnerable to rain and moisture, and a wooden structure that houses the living rooms and bedrooms. The large eaves provide comfort to the interior spaces and ensure durability for the structure. In the living room, a curated selection of Brazilian and local design pieces compose the furniture.
The landscaping of the outdoor area was carefully thought out to serve as a space for contemplation and retreat. For this purpose, the presence of the four elements is crucial. Water, present in the pool, refers to movement and fun. Fire warms and brings people together with good food and stories. Air brings movement, sounds, and sensations. Earth, connected to introspection and self-reflection. Thus, architecture and nature shape the land, forming the Frame that marks the territory and protects the spaces where the family spends the most time in the house.
