This weekend house is located near Furnas Lake and was designed to prioritize the best view and sunlight, as well as preserving the privacy of its owners. The house is divided into two levels, with the first comprising the social area and the second the private area. The entrance is accessed through a ramp to the most suitable level for its installation in order to minimize the movement of earth on the terrain.
The V-shaped layout of the house creates a diagonal main facade in relation to the terrain. The architects valued this facade by using hydraulic tiles in relief created for this project, highlighting the variation of solar incidence on it, creating a rustic facade that is contemporary in its geometry.
On the first floor, the open spaces provide a seamless integration between the living room, kitchen, and balcony. Access to the powder room and sauna can be through the living room or the outdoor area.
The sloping street and pre-existing construction on the lot next door made privacy a key point for this project. The solution was to illuminate the living room through unusual openings: a zenithal opening and one near the floor, in addition to a large window at the back of the lot, continuing the axis created by the zenithal opening. The concrete pergola painted below the zenithal opening creates various light and shadow effects throughout the day on the blind wall. The light gives dynamism to the space.
The staircase just below the zenithal axis leads to the private area on the second floor. This area consists of five suites with large windows in white aluminum shutters and views of Furnas Lake. The circulation that gives access to the rooms is open to the double-height living room.
The living room leads to the covered and open balcony, where there is a barbecue grill and support countertop, as well as space for socializing. The balcony leads to the wooden cumaru deck and triangular stone-clad infinity pool located in the corner of the terrain, with ample sunlight and views all day long. The suspended infinity pool gives a sense of spaciousness to the space. The narrow and small terrain presented a challenge both for the integration of the social area and for the possibility of the best view for the rooms. The internal circulation of the rooms, used as closet space, and the suite bathrooms facing inside the building, illuminated by high windows, were crucial solutions to enable the rooms to have a view.
