Mantiqueira House

1/12

Deployed in a glade near a hillside of Mantiqueira Range, next to a stream, house fits into the surroundings, a kind of split unit. Tectonic basis, partially stuck on the ground, houses a large living room, kitchen and two apartments for guests. Folded around itself, conformed a patio.

A second volume, a wagon suspended, provides two bedrooms for the family, between these two volumes, a large terrace with gardens and swimming pool opens view of the woods. Intersection of volumes on the patio generates a terrace in double high. This approximation of opposites builds counterpoint, such as the scale of wide views from the terraces and the landscape contracted in the patio, the transparency of living room in opposition to wagon opaque volume.

Even more, fair-faced concrete sets the lower volume tributary as a dense mass, in opposition to the lightness of the wagon in steel and wood, that floats on the first.
