Architects: Alan Chu & Cristiano Kato
Location: Ilhabela, Sao Paulo, Brazil
Project year: 2008
Constructed area: 36 sqm
Photographs: Djan Chu
The building has 2 floors, a white suspended box, where the bedroom is
and it is possible to see the continent and the São Sebastião Channel.
Under it, at street level, are the living room, kitchen and bathroom.
The wood used on some doors and windows, staircase, shelves and furniture are leftovers of material used to make scaffoldings and molds for the white box reinforced concrete structure.
The 3.00 m x 5.00 m white box is supported on one side by an
existing retaining wall and on the other by a wall built with stones, a
characteristic of local constructions.
This movement shapes the other 3 spaces of the construction, the access yard, between the box and the retaining wall that curves following the parking lot ramp’s floor, the courtyard, between the box and the rock and the void created under the box, where the living room is.
Curious as to the rough price range of the above house?
