Text description provided by the architects.Capim Cidró House was designed as a retreat to slow down and reconnect with the essence of simple living. Located in Alto Paraíso de Goiás, the residence reflects theWabi-Sabistyle, emphasizing simplicity and authenticity through natural elements and a neutral color palette. This essential approach is enriched by contemporary touches, such as automation technologies and finishes that balance rusticity and sophistication.The architectural design consists of two main volumes, offset and juxtaposed, connected by intervals defined by metallic pergolas and bamboo-covered structures. This configuration creates a fluid and light composition, seamlessly integrating the project with its natural surroundings. The spatial layout prioritizes social interaction and a strong connection with the landscape. On the ground floor, large openings allow for seamless integration between the living room, kitchens, and veranda, forming a spacious and inviting social area. The spa, strategically placed, serves as a perfect relaxation space for warm days, while the lounges provide comfortable settings for gatherings and moments of rest.The upper floor features a large veranda, conceived as a space for contemplation, offering a direct connection to nature and immersive views of the mountainous landscape in Alto Paraíso. Capim Cidró House balances modernity and tranquility, achieving an aesthetic that values both the essential and the contemporary.The site layout was carefully planned to harmonize with the local context. The orientation of the spaces considers sunlight exposure and wind direction while enhancing the views of the horizon and the surrounding mountains. Expansive glass openings and bamboo roofing allow natural light to flood the interiors in varying intensities throughout the day, reflecting a core principle of Wabi-Sabi: the appreciation of impermanence and the passage of time.
