Madeira House

A large wooden roof with visible structural elements defines the aesthetics of Madeira House, a project located at Fazenda Boa Vista, in São Paulo, and designed by developer MOS and Matheus Farah and Manoel Maia Architecture in partnership with Gaia Construtora. The residence is the result of a research that started in 2019 and involved both companies. This research aimed to develop constructive methods that guarantee agility in delivery, predictability in the process, controlled cost and little maintenance, having been guided by the best practices of sustainability and efficiency.
The main structural element chosen was wood and, for that reason, it was kept in evidence in all environments. The main beams were inverted in order to make all the secondary beams visible, without the use of a ceiling. Finding a solution for the encounters of wood with the different materials used in the project was the main challenge brought by this approach. Metals, frames and prefabricated concrete elements are some of the different materials that can be found in the residence. The prefabricated concrete elements were particularly chosen for their agility in installing the plates, in addition to requiring little maintenance and offering great resistance to the weather. In this way, it was possible to combine
constructive agility with a lasting and sustainable result.
Conceived to be a place of coexistence between friends and family, the project highlights wood as an aesthetic and also a structural element. Prefabricated concrete slabs were wrapped in wood and arranged every 25,6 inches. The roof also has wood as its main material while extending itself over the pavilion that houses the social programs and runs through the volumes where the services and suites are located, bringing lightness and shaping the large social balcony facing nature.
The project contains three blocks implanted in a L-shaped design with established programs and generous spaces that guarantees integration and layout flexibility. The layout of the rooms was designed in such a way that the social and intimate environments have a full view of the landscape, whether open or directed, as in the case of the master suite. The first block houses the service facilities, which guarantee the operation of the residence. Laundry room, pantry, storage and garage are the areas contained in this first space.
When it comes to the second block, a large pavilion with a light wooden roof houses the social programs, such as the kitchen, the gourmet area and the balcony. Also present in this block are the 3-ambience living room, the home-theater, the sauna, the massage area and the guest suite.
Finally, the third block articulates with the main pavilion through an internal garden and also houses five suites. The master suite has a private balcony that overlooks the landscape. As a continuation of the pre-existing nature, the projected garden welcomes the residents as the original green area also
does. When it comes to the viewpoint facing the forest and positioned on the gym's roof, it gives Casa Madeira a relaxing and energizing experience.
When it comes to the choice of the coatings and finishes of the house, contrasting materials were prioritized. Light and dark tones, as well as smooth and rough textures are articulated in order to highlight the wood, the main element of the project. The use of materials and colors that reinforce the
cozy atmosphere, which is enhanced by the choice of furniture that dialogues with the architectural design of the house, was preferred. Slatted wooden sliding panels associated with mosquito screens provide ventilation and light control in the suites.
Fruit trees were chosen in the landscape project in order to attract the region's birds while guaranteeing privacy in the internal areas. The lighting design used indirect lights and warm tones for greater visual and environmental comfort. Large panes of glass enhance natural lighting. The structure and fences made of prefabricated elements allowed the project to be completed in a few months, proving the importance of investing in innovative methods without sacrificing the
well-being of the residents or the architectural performance.
