Jangadas House / GAM Arquitetos

Located in Praia do Forte, the residence was made to be a beach house for a family composed of a couple and their daughter. It was designed to dialogue at all times with its surroundings, making nature a key element in the project. With a good part of its open and integrated spaces (or with glass closing), the architecture of the house valued the view to the sea, which in turn becomes the main scenario for those who are experiencing it. Brises and wooden pergolas allow the entry of ventilation and natural lighting in a comfortable and adaptable way, also considering issues related to conscious energy consumption. The pool that splits into a small beach and a water mirror further emphasize the coastal atmosphere. Wood and stone make a counterpoint between the elegance and rusticity of the architecture
