We have developed a high standard staff house for diplomats and families aiming to experience Brasilia in a sustainable environment. Houses are grouped within city’s urban tissue, configuring an enclosed and secure residential area.

The Diplomat’s houses are designed as a long two-story volume - the private and services areas, intersected by a lower volume - the social area. To allow privacy within the compound, the circulation faces the main façade, and the private suites are opened to the external gardens.

The corten steel façades are unique to each house due to the sola position, and the garden fences are opaque in private areas and perforated in social areas.
