Located within a condominium in Brasília, the project for Petry House is the result of a meticulous analysis of the terrain and its characteristics. It is, therefore, a work whose essence is based on identifying the peculiarities of the plot and its surroundings. The site is physically characterized by a longitudinal slope of one meter and twenty centimeters, with dimensions of seventeen by thirty-five meters. Additionally, the neighboring lots have their occupation consolidated and defined by residences that occupy the entire front portion of the lots, with significant heights.
Thus, the following challenges were posed, and naturally, the responses we crafted became the guiding thread for the residence project:
[1] How to incorporate a construction of approximately 470m² of area to be built over two floors, considering the dimensional constraints of the lot?
[2] How to appropriate the characteristics of the topography to build a new residence, whose scale and proportions were perfectly integrated into the residential neighborhood?
[3] How to establish a sense of belonging between the architectural work and its site? There is, therefore, a clear intention to structure the architecture in harmony with the scales they represent. The first and undoubtedly the most expressive, the human scale; the others, the scale of the site, the street, the condominium, the neighborhood, the city, and the landscape follow suit, respecting the hierarchy of each.
Strategically, we took advantage of the slope of the terrain and positioned the house one meter and twenty centimeters below street level, deliberately naming it the lower ground floor. An extremely democratic area where all the functions of daily life, domestic life, converge. Living, dining, kitchen, barbecue, and social areas, all integrated, supported by pilasters and embraced by landscaping that sustains the gaze of those who move through the space without obstacles. On the upper floor, one meter and fifty centimeters above street level, are the bedrooms and intimate spaces private and exclusive to the family.
Rationally, the pavilion typology proved to be the most suitable for housing the program. It also contributed, in equal measure, to organizing it by responding to the functional questions inherent to the house with extreme simplicity. Simplicity is precisely what distinguishes this pavilion, quietly incorporated into the site, from its surroundings.
