We accompanied the choice of land with the European client who wanted to live in heavily wooded surroundings. After an intense search, we found a plot of land overgrown with native woodland, where the potential for use was limited to 30% and with a strong topography.
As Curitiba's environmental guidelines are more restrictive than the federal ones, occupation of the plot must be concentrated on its front. We took advantage of this restriction to accommodate the extensive program in three overlapping blocks, synthesizing all the complexity of this residence in a single volume. Due to the residence's proximity to the dense woodland, we used the following materials in natura to achieve a dialog between nature and the large mass built on the front. With delicate fractures in the transitions between the blocks, we achieved contrasts in materials, voids and visual permeability.
