Article source: Nommo Arquitetos The construction site is a shared area of three houses, belonging to the same family, in a gated community located in the north of Florianópolis island. On that same space there was an old covered yet open-sided barbecue place. The family grew and so the need for a more comfortable lounge area was required.  Image Courtesy © Paula Morais

To achieve this change in character, a south facing, 14 meters beam blocks the view of those who enter, while the north facing beam is inverted and is transformed into a bench, thus freeing the view of the woods. The lateral openings, define access and frame the view.  Image Courtesy © Paula Morais  Image Courtesy © Paula Morais Inside the social block, the space is divided into living, kitchen and dining. The kitchen consists of a custom built pizza oven, a grill and a large wooden bench, which encases the refrigerator, the oven and the stove. The roof is composed of a waterproofed slab, styrofoam and an inner lining of demolition wood, sustained by steel beams. The supported block, which runs along the plot’s limits, houses the toilets, water tanks, and a storage space.
