This small residence retrofit creates a landmark to the owner family, allowing a low cost construction to grant life quality and aesthetics excelency.
Pure forms and materials express the client’s desire in a simple and functional architecture. The house is divided into 3 connected volumes: services, social and intimate.
The rationality of spaces and well-defined blocks contrasts with the extensive skyline of Brasilia. Through the windows, the exterior casement that protrudes out of the building has a double function: to frame the view of the horizon and protect the rooms of the sun.

Section
The existing structure was preserved inside the house. In the external areas, the metallic structure made possible large spans to cover the garage, while in the backyard area, the concrete structure allowed greater thermal comfort and structural integration between the elements. The materials used allow the house to age with nobility, maintaining style. At the same time, the cost of maintenance is drastically reduced
