House for Tania and Mario / Mandril Arquitetura

“The dream house” was how the clients described the property to the Mandril Arquitetura team, led by Helena Kallas and Bruno Reis, as soon as they came across the residence with the characteristics they had dreamed of: being close to the city but with the comfort of the countryside, in a space where they could gather, have contact with plants, and where the dogs could feel free. An old house, but the structure and choice of finishes were very assertive, requiring some adjustments to meet current demands. The original architecture, therefore, remained and the creation of a new annex was included in the project, in a construction that did not break with the architectural style.
