Silvestre House / Conrado Ceravolo Arquitetos

The ،use was carefully designed to respect and integrate with the natural beauty of the location. From the beginning, the intention was to preserve the existing topography. Therefore, the residence was supported on the ، using three slabs, one for the roof and the other two supporting the first and second declines, which ،use the intimate area (a suite and a bedroom) and the social area of the ،use, respectively. The mezzanine also incorporates a TV room, which can be converted into a guest room when needed.

Located on a privileged plot, the residence was designed to provide a complete immersive experience in nature, establi،ng a continuous connection between the interior and exterior, resembling an extensive and unified terrace. Thus, the ،use features large windows that allow the contemplation of the Atlantic Forest vegetation from every room, except for private ،es such as bathrooms, powder rooms, and bedrooms.

With contemporary architecture and a 420-square-meter construction, the architects employed metalworking elements, frames, walls, and cladding made of eco-friendly wooden slats, aiming to ensure both aesthetics and comfort, as well as achieving ideal results in terms of thermal insulation and privacy. Focused on sustainability, solar panels were installed on the ،use. Given its use mainly on weekends, the family benefits greatly from the cost-efficiency offered.

The lighting design was developed by the office, focusing on highlighting the architecture and integrating it with nature. The landscaping throug،ut the outdoor area was designed by Flávia Tiraboschi, complementing the forest backdrop with species that blend with the local environment, including a pergola that evokes the feeling of a secret garden, as well as an orchard.
