Article source: Aresto Arquitetura The Brisas house is an exercise in adapting the conditions of the place, something indispensable in the projects of Aresto Arquitetura. Subtly inserted in a small corner lot with steep topography, its implantation took place through two different levels with the objective of avoiding great earth movements. The absence of views of the surrounding countryside served as a motivation for creating a “natural horizon” within the lot itself. The removal of foreign exchange allowed the installation of lateral gardens that extend to the hedge contributing to the nature of the whole ground floor.
Externally the walls covered with Cumaru wood panels remind the diversity of the local forest, and the difference in the sizes and positions of the panels, besides reinforcing this concept, generates an atmosphere of surprise because it reveals parts of the interior of the ground floor, where are the areas social policies. To bring privacy and protection to the strong afternoon sun, the volume of the upper floor, where are the three bedrooms and the office, closes totally for street. A slope on the outside wall of the master suite provides a view of the region’s rich natural landscape. The large opening in the roofing slab over the entrance door was designed to expel the internal heat from both floors through the chimney effect, in addition to bringing more light to the whole house, especially to the hallway of the rooms. The whole project revolves around the relationship between privacy, sunshine and views, and the goal of bringing a work that interacts with the extraordinary nature of the place.
