The Illapangui del Peumo House was conceived with an architectural program centered on an open courtyard street. This courtyard street is arranged perpendicularly to the horizon.
Upon accessing this space, a panoramic view of the sea opens up, which defines the general spatial logic of the entire residential complex.
Casa Raízes, a project developed by Studio Gontijo Arquitetura, is located atop a cliff in Trancoso, situated in the southern region of Bahia.
The concept of the residence was shaped by a deep connection with the local environment. The land offers a constant view of both the ocean and the horizon, presenting two crucial elements for the development of the project: the dense presence of the Atlantic Forest and easy proximity to the sea.
Access to the beach is via a private trail that winds through the native vegetation, leading directly to Itapororoca Beach. In addition to the advantageous location of the lot, the proximity to another property belonging to the same family also significantly influenced the decision to choose this location.
