The Royal House emerges as an expression of harmony between architecture and the natural terrain. Located on a sloped plot, the house was designed to integrate with its surroundings.

The project stands out for the use of exposed concrete, which not only reinforces the robustness and functionality of the structure but also provides a raw, genuine aesthetic that conveys the strength of the material in its purest form.
The structural concrete walls, which rise and shape themselves according to the land, are not just a building element, but also a manifestation of the brutalist philosophy of expressing the structure as an integral part of the building's aesthetic.
The hollow bricks, strategically positioned on the facades of the bedrooms, function as sunshades, controlling the incidence of direct light and interpreting one of the most relevant architectural objects: the cobogó.
The use of the cobogó adds a softness and permeability to the design, creating a connection between the internal and external spaces, allowing natural light to enter, and promoting effective cross-ventilation.
In addition to fulfilling practical functions, the cobogó has a strong aesthetic character, creating a play of shadows that changes throughout the day and intensifies the sense of dynamism within the house.
At night, the box transforms into a large lantern, illuminating the plot.
The choice for a single-story house reinforces the idea of integration with the terrain, providing a direct and fluid connection between the internal spaces and the surrounding nature. The project prioritizes the experience of living in harmony with the outdoors, incorporating natural elements as the house adapts to the topography of the land, becoming an extension of the landscape.
The use of light volumes with pure geometry allowed the project to maintain uniformity and rationality in its design, distributing the house into three blocks: service, social, and private.
An apparently simple house, but one that carries a story full of challenges and efforts, from its conception. The care and dedication in the execution of the walls is reflected in the concrete detailing.
Every detail of the Royal House was carefully considered to create a unique environment, where concrete, brick, and nature coexist, providing the resident not only with a home but a singular refuge where architecture becomes an extension of her way of life, in harmony with space and time.
