Bridge House in Campinas, Brazil by Diego Wisnivesky ArcLab

Located in the countryside of Campinas, Brazil, the residence stands on the site as a glider that is just about to touchdown.

Surrounded by a preserved forest, the house is designed with steel structure to minimize construction impact on the environment.

The use of wide openings allows nature to enter, stretching the boundaries of the built space. Extended glass surface brings an extra dimension by reflecting the outside during the day and inside at night.

The structure is designed as a bridge in order to open up the entire site towards the landscape. This way sunlight enters the living room early in the morning and again late in the afternoon, with brise-soleil panels sliding across for shadow control.

The design establishes a relationship between the built space and nature, on every single level.

On the first floor, glass doors stretch from one side to the other inviting the forest inside. The use of ceramic wood texture finishes on the floors and elevations sets a reference to the neighboring trees, making use of same materials.

The second floor is set inside the 22 meters long cantilevered structure. Every room finds a way to the outside, having the forest as background. This way different colors, lights and textures can be experienced inside throughout the year.

The rooftop finds the final stop as an observatory deck, reaching open space with a panoramic view to look over the forest and contemplate the sky.
