The Itupeva House in Brazil, by Aresto Arquitetura

Article source: Aresto Arquitetura

The house is basically organized in a large block in format with two floors.

The social sector was positioned on the lower floor, which features the living room, dining room, kitchen, home theater, utility room, guest toilet, laundry room, gourmet space and pool. On the ground floor are the garage, the warehouse, the entrance hall, the office and the three dormitories.
The local conditions were decisive for the solutions adopted in the project. The lot is located in the highest part of the condominium, which allowed the creation of large openings overlooking the natural landscape.

This privileged location also allowed a better use of ventilation and natural lighting. The large openings in opposite directions allow the control of the air currents inside the house.

The removal of the retaining wall in addition to avoiding moisture brought lighting to the winter garden and producing the chimney effect to help cool the social areas on warmer days. For the external finish of the work were specified: white mass on the walls, a wooden brise to protect the windows of the rooms from direct sunlight, wooden deck around the pool and apparent concrete With a very steep slope, the two-floor residence was implanted with the objective of taking full advantage of the natural topography, ventilation and view of the forest
