NEST HOUSE
 

ON A 2,000m² PLOT OF LAND IN SÃO PAULO, IT WAS THE PLACE CHOSEN TO HOUSE THE MEETING POINT FOR THE FAMILY CENTER WHO VISIT THE OFFICE TO CARRY OUT THE MISSION OF BUILD THE 1,086m² RESIDENCE.

THE PROJECT'S MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO BE A PLACE OF REST, REFUGE, AND ESPECIALLY MEETING FOR FAMILY MEETINGS, WHICH WAS POETICALLY INTERPRETED BY THE ARCHITECT AS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEST THAT HOUSES AND GATHERS ALL GENERATIONS.  THE MAIN CONCEPT IS TO USE PERGOLATES TO ARCHITECTURALLY MIME THE SMALL BRANCHES AND STICKS THAT ARE INCORPORATED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEST, AN ELEMENT THAT SETS THE RHYTHM, AND EMBRACES THE WHOLE PROJECT, CREATING FRAMEWORKS AND POSTERIATION OF THE LANDSCAPE EXTENDING AS A STRUCTURE.

 

JUST LIKE THE BRANCH THAT BIRDS LAND TO REST AND APPRECIATE NATURE, A LARGE WOODEN BENCH WAS CREATED TO ACCOMPANY THE ARCHITECTURAL PROMENADE OF THE RESIDENCE, SO THAT USERS CAN ALSO ENJOY THE BIOPHILIA CREATED BY THE LANDSCAPE PROJECT.

THE PROJECT HAS SEVERAL SUITES AND GENEROUS ENVIRONMENTS, SINCE THE HOUSE WAS DESIGNED TO BE ENJOYED COLLECTIVELY. ALL ENVIRONMENTS ARE CONNECTED BY A BEVELED WOOD CROWING, WHICH IS SUPPORTED ON THE PERGOLATE WHEN TRANSFORMING INTO WOODEN BEAMS UNDER THE SOCIAL VOLUME, ALLOWING SENSORY PERMEABILITY BETWEEN THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT, BUT STILL GUARANTEING THE COMFORT AND COZYNESS OF THE NEST OF WOOD CREATED ON THE BASE OF STONE.
