AN House By Guilherme Torres

The house has been adapted to the hot climate through characteristics such as large open spaces and cross-flow. Divided into three blocks, the U-shaped structure appears with an interior of predominantly exposed concrete, providing contrast with the white brick rooms. The lobby area is reminiscent of a theater stage, and has been organized in a large wooden box, closed off from the street outside. This, combined with the stone-coated external walls and a garden filled with lush plants, enables the owners to maintain their privacy. The garden is cared for by a special irrigation system, providing an interesting alternative to the traditional green courtyard and a safe, intimate area for the family.
