House in Bocaina

Since the first visit, we were greatly impressed by the power of Serra da Bocaina, just like the client who requested a house that "embraced the landscape." After many studies and conversations, in order to interpret this desire, we arrived at a curved form that seeks to incorporate the exterior into the interior of the house in a panoramic manner. With this semi-elliptical object, clad in materials familiar to the forest, we aim to soften the boundaries between the construction and its surroundings, establishing an architecture that positions itself respectfully in this delicate ecosystem. The challenge of negotiating common and private spaces within a circular form led us to examine other architectural references, vernacular constructions, and community spaces that have a deep connection to their environment. This path also led us to reflect on residential typology, mimicry, and context; on "comfort" and "contemplation of nature"; on the time scale of a construction and the intensity of its footprint on the ground. #architecture #building #contemporary #houses #residential Houses Bananal, Brazil Architects: Ana Altberg, Cesar Jordão Area: 306 m² Year: 2021 Photographs:Federico Cairoli Manufacturers: Marcenaria Quiari, Lumar Marcenaria, Marcenaria Baraúna, Morito Ebine
