The position of this house has been meticulously planned not to disturb the surrounding nature, and to respect the strict construction footprint. The terrain with steep slopes amidst trees, posed a challenge during the design and construction process, access points, views and feasibility had to be carefully balanced.
The white prism is suspended by a sequence of stilts, so the house barely touches the ground. It is accessed by an exterior circulation that connects the main entrance directly to the bedrooms with a spiral staircase. The strategy leaves no indoor alternative for the connection of spaces, it is a radical experience of the weather, the winds, the smells and the light of the jungle.
Above the prism, an elevated platform that overlooks the canopies. A very light structure, inside the limits of the platform, covers the living area enclosed by sliding glass panels. The transition between inside and outside spaces is extremely subtle, creating a constant and intense feeling of immersion at the Atlantic Forest.
The interior design exclusively explores Brazilian culture, with the presence of national contemporary design, traditional craftsmanship.
