Article source: AP Architetos AP Arquitetos was founded in 2010 and seeks to establish a contemporary architectural language, experimental and still focused on local and historical values. We understand architecture much more as a methodological process in which several professionals act together. With this vision we can reach new ideas and concepts that can be applied in a practical way and with a high degree of innovation and experimentalism. Our process works each project in a unique way, that is, with a “tailoring” thought. The firm has projects in several Brazilian cities besides Peru, Italy and the USA.

In this facade large glass panels and balconies guarantee ideal and continuous lighting. Hall, garage, services and office (limited use areas) facing the south. In these spaces few openings guarantee minimum loss of heat.

Among the plans aluminum frames create an appearance of lightness and effects of shadow, light and wind. In the east / west direction we introduce a plane in wood to differentiate it from the other structural lines.

The office, in this southern view, advances four meters in a cantilevered structure. In the north view, terrain backside, the plans and volumes do not have hierarchy between them.

These were inserted to guarantee a visual protection to the office besides being traditional elements of Brazilian modernist architecture. A small tear ensures the external visuals.

So the ground floor can be left open as a large lounge connecting living, dining, kitchen and barbecue. In front of the dining room was positioned the pool, external and partially covered.
