A
contemporary, single-story house , located in the
Triângulo Mineiro , was a dream project designed by
Studio Porto , which focused on integrating environments and connecting with nature. One of the clients' wishes, which guided the project's layout, was for the house to be
divided into two different naves , with the first concentrating the
intimate living areas, while the other accommodates the
other functions , such as the service area and the kitchen. All in a way that allows for a fluid connection.
Another request from the residents to the architects was that the space should have a place to enhance the sunset. With this came the desire to invest in
raw materials and natural elements , the presence of light and ventilation, as well as the
inclusion of green spaces .
“By concentrating the
wet areas at the ends of the house, we optimize the internal flow, facilitating access to the bathrooms, lavatories and service areas. This approach guarantees
privacy for the private area and harmoniously integrates the social spaces,” explains
Camila Porto. For the dream space with a view of the sunset, the Studio created a
rooftop as an extension of the leisure area . This space offers breathtaking panoramic views that are perfect for moments of relaxation and enjoying nature.
Sustainable architecture
From the beginning, the residents opted for a
contemporary style and chose a
construction system with a metal structure . The
architecture valued and highlighted the appearance of
metal , which expresses
lightness and
minimalism , playing a
fundamental role in the concept of the house.
The
construction system and use of natural materials was a strategy used by the office to make the project sustainable. The
interactive and versatile layouts were designed to be integrated or not with
an abundance of natural light and ventilation , which reduces the use of air conditioning and electricity.
