Article source: TFA – TAGIR FATTORI ARQUITETURA Located in Caxias do Sul, in the Serra Gaúcha, in the Montalcino condominium, the PH2 house and its 467.74m² stands on a plot of 594.56m². The lot has a slight slope in alignment with the sidewalk and a slope towards the back of the land. These two have already oriented a condition for the project in addition to the internal regulations of the condominium. The gap between the alignment and the bottom of the land is about 3.5 meters. North solar orientation is at the bottom of the land, very important in a city with few sunny days, extreme variation in humidity, many days covered by clouds and very significant rainy days.

The house appears timidly on the ground, as if it had been there forever, it barely distorts the natural level of the lot. People have access on both levels. Cars descend to reach the garage. On the first floor, at the level of the inner courtyard, are the social living areas, kitchens, laundry, veranda and swimming pool. On the second floor are the bedrooms, office and terrace. The building was completely oriented to the north, the main parts open onto the patio and the sun.

Sobriety in the openings and a game of plans and volumes that protect the resident and create a reserved atmosphere. The house is a sculpted monolithic block covered by light coatings. It is a rectangular volume over another pure geometric prism. Portions were extracted from the volumes that create spaces for use. Contained terraces, balconies, open balconies, gardens, porch and garage. These extractions create spaces for ventilation, recreation, contemplation and car shelter. The upper volume, all coated in black aluminum, accommodates the coverage for the balcony and garage. The monolithic appearance of the house with subtractions and large blind panels create silent facades parallel to the ground forming screens.

This hollow screen creates a veil of privacy for the residents as well as filters light and protects from the wind. It also hides the view of bathroom vents. The cladding evokes the industrial vocation of the city, a metal-mechanic center.The openings are positioned in places where it provides light and does not reveal the interior of the residence. Such openings in PVC are more generous when they are related to the garden and swimming pool.
