Excerpt: Obra Arquitetos designed two level Casa LLF in the exposed concrete with freedom, amplitude and great interaction between ambiences and programs in the building form with the topographical context of São Paulo.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] The house project sought to exploit the relationships with the land to the maximum, surrounded by vegetation and with an intense connection between the interior and exterior space.
The site has a steep slope terrain and the program in the house requested was relatively small concerning the site area.
Thereby, the building was located in the center of the lot and distributed on two levels. At the top, a sinuous slab creates spaces and houses the service programs, garage and collective use areas, all frankly open to the outside. The slab design and some structural walls characterize the kitchen, living and leisure spaces without creating very rigid barriers between environments so that users can enjoy freedom, amplitude and great interaction between ambiences and programs in the house.
The most intimate level, where living space and four bedrooms are housed, is designed downstairs. Taking advantage of the land slope, its roof slab serves as a floor to a flat square upstairs and leans against a prop wall on one side, allowing the opening and direct connection of rooms with a garden and a lake on the other side.
The lake was built so that, besides its beauty, it could serve as a reservoir for the irrigation of the garden, taking advantage of the rainwater and favoring the drainage of the land.
The house was all built in reinforced concrete molded in loco, exploiting the plastic possibilities of the material, mainly on the upstairs roof slab, and considering the good technical performance when we create backboards and waterproofing roof structures for the volume of the rooms.
