OM HouseGuilherme Torres, a young Brazilian architect, was hired by an elderly couple
to design a contemporary house in a residential condominium in Londrina,
Brazil. The clients requested a house which would be suitable for a couple to
live on regular basis as well as big enough to host their whole
family at the weekends. The architect offered them a plan consisting of two big blocks
perpendicularly crossed in a 400m2 area. The construction itself
comprises of a vast living area, a block containing 3 bedrooms and a discrete
laundry area. The living-room is well-supplied with natural light overlooking
the swimming-pool. The pool has a 16m swimming lane coated with black glass
chips readily made for the owner’s daily swim. The project uses few coating materials, which can be easily found in the
region. The rusty texture on the brick walls was done directly on the plaster.
The house floors as well as some walls are a mix of cement planks and wood
rulers. The French windows in the bedrooms were built in wood by local
handicraftsmen, a more economical and sustainable alternative rather than the
use of synthetic materials. Photographs by MCA Estúdio
