VM House
Londrina, Brazil
Beneath the lights and shadows, the young Brazilian architect Guilherme
Torres reveals in this house located in the south of Brazil, the balance
between the opposites, appraising volumetries with lights and shadows.
Guilherme explains that he aimed for a “Sensual architecture” in front of all
the imposed conditions (steep lot, wide space and concrete blocks as the main
raw-material for the construction).
“This architecture aims to stimulate curiosity and emotions. The
interesting part is the non-obviousness and the fitting sensation of the
environments and of the big concrete boards. It is necessary to feel the house
as a whole in order to perceive the dynamic of spaces”, explains the architect.
The first sketches of this project started in 2001. From then on, the
works started, but due to some setbacks the construction was suspended and the
lot was sold to the new owners. The current owners - a couple with two small
children, requested some modifications and Guilherme reassumed the project,
which was concluded in 2007. The owners acquired the neighbor’s lots to be
attached to the project in the future.
The
environments were planned and disposed in three pavements in a very clever way.
The entrance of the house gives the access to the middle floor, where all the
social areas are located (the living room is integrated to the dining room and
the kitchen). The intimate areas (four suites: one for the couple, two for the
children and another one for guests) were planned for the upper floor. The
leisure area occupies the ground floor in an integrated and functional way. Besides
that, the pool with 150 m², follows the surroundings of the house, and guarantees
a unique style for the external area.
