Casa Brisa / FGMF

closed

One of the main differentials of the project is the white metal tiles that cover the external areas, serving the functionality of thermal and climatic protection and creating a translucent visual that evokes an industrial concept. Masonry, frames, and blinds make up the first layer of the project, while in the second layer, the tiles integrate the roof, eaves, terrace, garage, and side cladding, acting as insulation panels and sunshades for insulation control. The finishes combine organic tones, exposed concrete, and the white of the structure on the upper floor.The linear extension of the project highlights the main living room. The glass-enclosed environment, located below the bedrooms and surrounded by the lower gardens, features integrated landscaping, which in the long term will have dense vegetation, enhancing the sense of privacy and well-being for the residents. Overlooking the pool and solarium, at the north end of the plot, are the kitchen, dining room, and gourmet area.For the external observer, throughout the day, the angles of the house evoke a floating steel monolith. At night, with artificial lighting, this monolith dissolves and the house appears diaphanous, and transparent, revealing its interior and the first layer. Regarding the conception of the structure, Fernando Forte, a partner in the office, comments: "It is an investigation into the inside and outside, the covered and open, the union between gardens and architecture in a tranquil way, unconventionally using simple materials".Text description provided by the architects.The FGMF presents its new residential project: Casa Brisa. Located inCampinas, in the interior of São Paulo, the residence has a disruptive visual created from solutions for thermal comfort and adapted to the local topography. The name of the project pays homage to the light and privileged ventilation, which reinforces the pleasant and refreshing sensation of its semi-internal gardens thanks to the proposed architecture.Amidst the relative isolation of its plot, Casa Brisa was designed on a steeply sloping terrain where, towards the access facade, there is a preserved forest area and a wide view of the region. Prioritizing this characteristic of the terrain, the architects chose to develop the base of the residence in the structure of an underground plateau, where the internal and external social areas are distributed, with the main entrance at street level. The decision allowed for architecture suitable for the local topography and greater privacy for the social areas, while on the upper floor, part of the intimate areas take advantage of the privileged view in contact with nature.
