The Casa Nirvana, described by the project team, represents more than just a residence; it is conceived as a refuge for inner peace, given that 'Nirvana' holds this meaning.
With a total area of 1,115 m², this house transforms the concept of shelter into a dwelling focused on meditation. The design was developed to be a true sanctuary, utilizing elements of Indian stones.
The architecture of this property was planned in such a way that it transcends conventional physical barriers, establishing a deep connection and fusion with the surrounding natural environment.
Casa NB01, designed by TNT Architecture, is located on a complex residential lot in the city of Ninh Binh, Vietnam. This site featured several pre-existing constructions that had undergone numerous expansions and modifications over many years.
These successive additions created a fragmented and disorganized scenario, which prevented the space from adequately meeting the daily demands of the resident family. Furthermore, the land faced considerable environmental stresses.
The property bordered a busy national highway and faced the North-South railway line. Such factors resulted in constant contamination from traffic noise, dust, and visual pollution.
Casa Faye is a private urban residence that was carefully planned to suit its specific corner lot. A considerable setback allowed for the inclusion of a private and lush garden, which functions as a central element in the house's architectural structure.
The ground floor was conceived as an open space, where the kitchen, dining room, and living room connect in an uninterrupted axis. This space expands fluidly into the landscaped area through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass panels.
These retractable glass walls have the effect of blurring the boundary between the interior and exterior environments, fixing the spatial experience in natural light, the presence of vegetation, and air circulation.
The project team presented the description of the Casa Ouriques / Ultra Arquitetura project, which consists of transforming an already existing home into a modern complex.
The work aims to expand the house's areas, integrating elements of architecture, interior design, and landscaping, while giving the property a new identity while preserving its original essence.
The basis of the proposal arose from the client's request to carry out a complete renovation of the current residence. This project foresees a considerable increase in built surfaces and the modernization of the rooms, with the aim of completely revitalizing the house.
