Pure, refined and minimalist. With these definitions, this perennial architecture, free of ornaments, tries to connect man with his essence, so that he can enjoy the spaces and their connections and value the best that life can be.
This set of residences, mostly designed in 2021 and 2022, consists of a contemporary, yet timeless, architecture typology. They encompass several technological concepts such as solar control glass, which blocks the heat flow into the environments, guaranteeing more thermal comfort and greater luminosity control. They help to reduce the use of air conditioning and improve the control of infrared rays amount. Most are self-cleaning, that is, they do not require constant maintenance.
Autonomous systems and virtual assistants can be incorporated into all homes without compromising their spaces. Flat roofs improve the feasibility for deployment of photovoltaic complexes, and even maximize the collection of rainwater for different kind of uses. Solar panels melt the snow slowly and collaborate for any use intended to capture clean and renewable energy. The energy performance of these residences assumes the best performance in the maximum or minimum temperature peaks in each season of the year. The proposal for the internal spaces seeks a balance between harmony, use and a sensorial perception of the natural surroundings of each place. With minimal wall density, building cost is also an important assumption.
The social rupture that the post-pandemic caused defined some of the main architectural decisions in these projects. The first was to incorporate an office with the characteristics of a professional advanced home office into the residences. That is, it has a prominent place in buildings, always close to the main access and can be used by more than one user simultaneously. With this insertion, the master suite, often located in American plants next to the social area, demanded a more private and reserved space. With the return of most workers on face-to-face operations, it was noticed that there are indeed many benefits of working from home. The cost and weariness of commuting in cities, the routine established by a defined workload and even the commitment of each worker to their duties can be reviewed and, in most cases, changed. These projects are willing to understand the post-pandemic moment, in search of the best solutions.
