Article source: Mariana Camara Martini In Itaipava, our aim was to create a cozy and elegant environment, which should be mainly functional. We used natural materials such as local wood and simple materials like cement to contrast hard styles like the black metal and brass. The house should be easy to understand its spaces even though it has 550 square meters. The guests rooms are exactly the same so there is no distinction. The Master bedroom has a private balcony with closet and suite with bathtub.  Image Courtesy © Mariana Camara Martini

Amid a stunning landscape, our concept wanted to integrate the house to its surroundings using local materials and landscaping that blended with the external nature and landscape. The plan is linear so it doesn’t stands outs much and can be closer to the trees height. In this way the can also age well in the house with no need to use stairs. A minimalist language with simple but powerful effects. Mariana decided to use just 2 materials for the house: concrete and wood. There are concrete walls with cement finishing, concrete tops, wooden floors, wooden ceilings, wooden furniture. All very rustic and minimal, matching the concept of the house to be close to nature and very simple of execution.

It has to be like a hotel for a while because it was a weekend house and then become a full time house when the owners retire. Other then its use, we researched what kind of materials were easy to maintain, to get and to deal with. One of the biggest challenge was to put everything the client asked into the plan without having to build more floors. The house is linear and we made it in a way its still very spacious. Even though the spaces are big, its still very intimate. In Itaipava, our aim was to create a cozy and elegant environment, which should be mainly functional.
