Sustainable beach house turns into a refuge in the middle of the Atlantic Forest

Called LWF residence, this house developed by the office Patrícia Martinez Arquitetura – from the CASACOR SP lineup – reflects the elegant signature of the professional from the architecture to the details of the interiors. Since the beginning, the project aimed to create a refuge amidst the Atlantic Forest, with a privileged view of Praia de São Pedro in the Iporanga Condominium, on the north coast of São Paulo, so that both the structure and the textures of each material were designed to have the least environmental impact possible in the region. The house is built with MLC (glued laminated timber) structure, which allowed for a quick and clean assembly on-site, reducing waste and prioritizing material efficiency. The layout was organized in blocks, one of which is entirely covered with wood, housing the TV room, washroom, kitchen, and an integrated living area, allowing fluidity between the environments. The PVC windows, arranged in large glass panels, ensure natural lighting and views to the outside.

On the upper floor, a transversal block contains the intimate area, composed of four bedrooms that open up to a terrace with a panoramic view of the beach. This configuration ensures privacy from the street while maximizing the connection with the landscape. The lower floor includes a garage, service area, and technical storage, while the pool is positioned at the front facade, aligned with the gourmet area. The landscaping of the project focuses on restoring the environmental impact of the region, promoting the return to nature of what was altered and creating a linearity between the house and the surrounding vegetation.
