House CSS / Seferin Arquitetura

The residence site, located at Silveira beach, has a portion of an environmental protection area on its lands containing a stream, and the house itself is located in the zone of the highest altitude of the lot. The construction’s strategic insertion is designed to present the viewer with better visuals of the surroundings. Applying the same strategy to the ground floor - which contains the house’s social area - it opens up to a balcony that shows - through the length of the facade - the visuals of both the preservation area and the beach. This same facade is headed east, guaranteeing the view for the landscape at sunrise. On the second floor, the same happens in almost all the house’s bedrooms, they are predominantly facing the landscape and receive solar protection by brise-soleil, a mobile shading system, providing this alternative when it is intended to avoid heat and lighting. As a consequence and priority relationship, service areas are located at the access facade, which doesn't have many interesting visuals as it faces the road.
