Project Requirements:
The house should have all the living areas related with each other and also the client requested a gourmet kitchen.
Concept and design solutions employed:
The house is environmentally sustainable throughout its design, the relationship that we’ve created with the nature and eco friendly materials that we’ve chosen to developed this project
PK Iporanga Residence
Materials used and why:
The house is green. Every single material and finishes are eco friendly such as the recycled wood and water based painting. Also the spaces of the house are related to its landscaping design and outdoor area; the glazed sliding doors establish the connection between the spaces and the outdoor area. The architectural aesthetic is very simple and orthogonal..
