Article source: Faleiro Gerra Arquitetura office “Architecture is petrified music” What would the noted german writer, Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe, author of this famous phrase, say if he saw the architetonic project of this residence prepared by Faleiro Guerra arquitetura? Poem in accurate traits, perhaps. Rich in details. Sofisticated architecture. Imponent with its geometric shapes and pure cosiness, due to its serene atmosphere. That is the definition for this residency idealized by the Faleiro Guerra Arquitetura office.  Front View (Images Courtesy Gustavo Xavier)
Another quality that could describe this design succinctly is its contemporary character. According to the architects Patrícia Guerra e Roziane Faleiro, “the strength of the Project lays on the appreciation of the contemporary architecture, with bold traits and accurate design”. In fact, that can be clearly noticed right at the entrance of the house. The combination of different shapes values the facade. The portico with double height emphasizes the entry way and makes evident the nuances used all over the house, in the outside as well as in the inside. “The light color is a solution that values the straight lines of the design”, explain the specialists.

In that way, the family can reuse this water in the garden and toilet. This is how we managed to give our contribution to helping the environment”, points out Patrícia.

The tree can be seen from all internal angles of the house. This is meant to set a pleasant ambience all around”, explains Roziane. Speaking of feeling, this solution also favours the cross ventilation and lightining inside the property.

The amazing view was the reason for the architects` decision on positioning the pool and leisure área in front of the land. “The feeling is that the house is an extention of the lake, as if both were mixed, creating an unique and oustanting scenery”, vibrate Patrícia e Roziane.
