Brazilian beauty …

Located in a residential area close to the Paranoa Lake in Brasília this family home by Domo Architects aim was to create maximum integration for socializing under one BIG roof. The roof together with the two side walls forms a “portico” that shades the interiors and part of the exterior spaces of the house. The internal spaces are distributed in different positions, either advanced or retreated, alternated with empty spaces that give depth and texture to its volumetric composition. To reinforce the unifying condition of the roof  it has been clad internally with natural wood, which is visible from almost all the internal spaces which I feel is key to softening and and warming the space. The bedrooms located in the 2nd floor are separated by an internal void and connected by a suspended open corridor over the living room, originating different relations in a double-height ceiling space with views both to the street and to an internal indoor patio. The canary yellow pivoting doors frames and windows complete the space delivering just the right amount of colour and personality. Don’t you just love yourself a bit if cubist design!
