Brooklin Apartment designed by Küster Brizola Arquitetos highlights checkered floor

The design team described that a large and level plot of land, intended for the construction of a residence with a maximum area of 250 m², inspired the placement of the house in a way that maximizes the connection between the covered internal areas and the external spaces.

The final layout follows a logic already used in other residential projects by the office, where the circulation paths between the environments are designed as covered walkways, but open on the sides, dispensing with frames or walls. This feature aims to extend the living experience between the interior and the exterior of the building.

The Casa Yakisugi residence, also known as Estúdio Mazara, was conceived by the firm Mazara Estudio Arquitectura. This single-family residential project was planned to establish an intimate connection between the built environments and the surrounding tropical landscape.

The architectural composition of the house is characterized by extended horizontal volumes, pitched roofs with light structure, and a limited selection of materials. The material palette used includes natural stone, wood, and structural components in dark tones.

The house named «La Joya», designed by Veö studio, utilizes a terrain with a thirteen-meter drop relative to the street level to create an architectural path. This path allows for the progressive revelation of the landscape of San Agustinillo, level by level.

The project concept arose from the need to build three distinct units: two smaller apartments, primarily aimed at seasonal rental, and a larger residence intended for owner occupancy.

Instead of grouping all functions into a single traditional block, the steep incline of the land provided the opportunity to fragment and spread the program across various levels on the hillside. Thus, each unit obtains its private space on the lot, ensuring privacy while maintaining a direct connection to the sea.
