Single Family Residence for Studio Flavio Franco

Contemporary features define this project. Concrete and gray tones make up the color palette and natural materials such as stone and wood were used. Slats in carbonized wood using an old Japanese technique, located on the west and south facade, protect the living and dining room from the intense sun in the afternoon. The windows throughout the house have a smoked film, reducing the light intensity in double height environments. Lighting is another important point in this project: at night the house transforms into a beautiful composition of lights and shadows.

Production Technology

The walls were made using ceramic bricks, the structure was made using concrete and the roof was made using thermo-acoustic aluminum tiles. The brise soleils were made using a japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban which consist of burning wood to better preserve it.

Design Challenge

The structure of the house was the most complicated part, since there is a swimming pool on the second floor which can be viewed from the ground floor. The entire house is constructed on concrete pillars. Charred wood was also used by design choice since it can preserve wood for a very long period.

Project Duration

Planning started in 2018 and construction took place in 2021 in Teresina, Brazil

Operation Flow

The house blends in the landscape which is achieved using lots of green space and glass along the facade.

Research

The entire house was designed by Flavio Franco. The design process took about one month to complete. The architect wanted to design a house that incorporate a lot of green spaces and it has a swimming pool floating above the ground floor. The finished result is a house that blends in the landscape and it looks very light.

Inspiration

The main inspiration for this house was the surrounding landscape, since the site is located on the highest part of the location. One of the design principles was to use this so the residents could have the best views available in the region. The house is integrated with nature and its surroundings using light materials and transparencies.
