THE ELEVATED HOUSE, LOCATED IN FAZENDA BOA VISTA, ARISED FROM THE CUSTOMER'S DESIRE TO HAVE A HOUSE WITH THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE CEILING.

​

THUS, THE HOUSE'S REGULAR CEILING FOOT IS 4 METERS IN HEIGHT, AND SO THAT THE HOUSE'S SOCIAL AREA HAS TWICE THE HEIGHT, A MEZZANINE WAS DESIGNED THAT ALLOWS TO GAIN THIS HEIGHT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, MOVING TO A SWING OVER THE SWIMMING POOL, THE ELEVATED LIVING ROOM WITH A VIEW TO THE FOREST THAT SURROUNDS THE LAND.

​

THE USE OF THE METALLIC STRUCTURE WAS INDISPENSABLE FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE PROJECT, FOR TWO MAIN FACTORS: THE REQUIREMENT OF A QUICK WORK; AND TO ENSURE THAT THE LARGE SPANS OF THE HOUSE WERE ACHIEVED WITHOUT LOSING SPACE IN THE RIGHT FOOT WITH THE BEAMS.

​

THE STRUCTURE FORMS A CROSS-SHAPED LATTICE BOX, AND IT IS ENVELOPED BY SELF-SUPPORTING MASONRY, SO THAT THE STRUCTURE AND SEALS ARE COMPLETELY INDEPENDENT.

​

LIKE THE HUMAN BODY, THE METALLIC STRUCTURE ACT AS THE BONES, THE MASONRY AS THE MUSCLES, AND FINALIZING THE LAYERS, THE FINISHING WITH STEEL FRAME PLAYING THE ROLE OF THE "SKIN" OF THE PROJECT.

​

THE PROJECT HAS CLEAN AND ORTHOGONAL LINES, AND AN ETHEREAL AND MINIMALIST AESTHETIC, WITH OPENINGS THAT ALLOW USERS TO ALWAYS HAVE THE VIEW OF THE FOREST FRAMED IN SOME WAY.
