Article source: CoDA Arquitetos Located in a noble area of Brasilia, house 636 stands on a sloping lot, where the front street presents an unevenness of 1.4m, the approximate height of half a floor. From this natural property of the site came the idea of a staggered composition for the project, creating spaces on four different levels, separated by halves of flights of stairs. The result of the composition is a solid volumetry of white boxes, interspersed by a central void, a glass staircase that suggests the movement of the people inside. The floors are arranged in two volumes of 6m wide each and they are articulated by a central void of 3m. The 6–3–6m modular sequence baptizes the house.  Image Courtesy © Haruo Mikami

Thus, each level corresponds to a new functional core, a scheme broken only by the unusual presence of the kitchen in the center of the house – the only environment with double height with easy access to the other rooms and the outside area. The other areas are organized according to the proximity to the ground floor, in a gradation from the most social spaces to the most intimate. Therefore, the lower ground floor combines services such as laundry, pantry, storage and garage; the upper ground floor, social, contains the kitchen, a living room and a balcony, as well as a small office and the guest room. The third level is intimate and comprises the 3 bedrooms and a TV room. Finally, there is a large terrace overlooking the Paranoá Lake .

In this way, house 636 presents itself as a viable alternative for contemporary housing in the city, as it maintains a dialogue with Brasilia’s modernist heritage and has a consistence with the lot and neighborhood in which it is located.
