Guarujá House by Nitsche Arquitetos

Guarujá House is a project designed by Nitsche Arquitetos. The house designed in Guarujá, located in the city of Guarujá on the coast of São Paulo, sits within a gated community that is part of a protected area of the original Atlantic Forest. To preserve the richness of this native forest, local regulations permit only 30% of the land area to be developed. The challenge was to accommodate a program that required at least 450 m² of built space. To achieve this, the design was divided into three levels. Photography by André Scarpa.

Villa 18, House in La Moraleja by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos

Leave a reply

The project designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos features diagonal views toward a lake belonging to the La Moraleja golf course in Madrid. Given that the size of this location allowed for it, a home was proposed that develops primarily on a single floor. The daytime area is organized into two volumes of different heights that shift in relation to each other, creating a sheltered terrace that faces the landscape, oriented southeast. The main body has a height of almost one and a half floors. A third structure houses the nighttime area, positioned in such a way that it has its own more private outdoor space.

Casa Bosque is a project designed by Grizzo Studio. The plot on which the project was to be built was a portion of the garden of an old house located in the residential neighborhood of Martínez, San Isidro, a neighborhood characterized by an abundant presence of vegetation. Nature was, without a doubt, the host of the place, we wanted to be able to maintain the feeling of being inside that leafy garden on which we began to project, this was our premise when designing, enhancing the play of light and shadow proposed by the treetops that surround it.

House in Sotogrande is a project designed by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos. Located in front of the Sotogrande golf course, the layout of this house invites us to experience the shadow between the ground plane and the roof that extends over it. A generous roof cantilever that not only offers shelter from the intense sun of Cadiz, but also protects from the copious rains that descend from the Sierra de Grazalema, the place with the highest rainfall in the Iberian Peninsula.

Dale St House, Bulleen by Chan Architecture Pty Ltd 15

Leave a reply

Originally constructed in the late 1960s, the Dale Street House designed by Chan Architecture Pty Ltd is a renovation of mid-century modern home, characterized by its bluestone walls, low and flat rooflines, and exposed ceilings and beams. While the clients appreciated the clean lines and timeless charm of the bluestone, the home’s small, disconnected living spaces and limited natural light fell short of their needs. They also required additional bedrooms, expanded living areas for a growing family, and an inviting alfresco and pool area. Photography by Elise Scott.
