Located on a steeply sloping lot in the Aldeia do Vale condominium in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil, this residence is based on an occupation strategy that seeks to adapt to the natural topography, reducing land cuts and exploring the possibilities of the uneven terrain to distribute the program.
The house is organized on two main levels. The lower floor contains the social and leisure areas, with direct access to the outdoor area and pool. On the upper floor are the intimate spaces, organized in a more closed and suspended volume, with punctual openings facing the landscape. The arrangement of the volumes follows the terrain, creating an implantation that accommodates the slope without abrupt interferences.
The structure is composed of post-tensioned slabs and reinforced concrete pillars, allowing for large spans and cantilevers that shape the architecture with few vertical supports. This solution frees up the internal spaces and enables a fluid relationship between environments, while also lending lightness to the formal composition. The free spans also organize the project's reading, marking transitions between solids and voids and reinforcing the horizontality of the elements.
Exposed concrete dominates the project's materiality, while brushed granite appears in strategic vertical planes, creating subtle texture contrasts and reinforcing the separation between volumes. The choice of a lean material palette contributes to the visual cohesion of the proposal and highlights the building's structural logic.
The cantilevered roof projects over the social spaces, functioning as a sun protection element and an extension of the architecture over the terrain. The geometry of the slabs and the proportion between horizontal and vertical planes define the project's formal identity.
The landscaping follows the implantation logic, with native and tropical species organized in strips that contour the house, softening the transition between the construction and the natural surroundings. The green areas also help with thermal comfort and reinforce the relationship between architecture and landscape."
