ikebana
on an extremely rugged site, casa ikebana emerges, designed to be modular and easy to build, especially due to the difficult access to the location.
for this reason, wood was chosen as the protagonist, uniting modular rationality with an appropriate aesthetic, providing warmth and architectural efficiency.
structurally, trusses became the solution that ensures the lightness of the prisms, spanning the necessary distances and transforming the house into a large bracket where opposing blocks counterbalance one another.
being located in a thermal waters region, the design poetically introduces a small stream running through the house as a tribute to its setting. the pool appears as a formal reflecting surface that surprises by revealing its deepest point in an organic form — the intersection of these elements becomes the juxtaposition of opposites: rigid and organic, nature and architecture, line and curve.
