"The design team was forced to think vertically, resulting in four overlapping volumes, two elevated and two semi-underground, that respond to the terrain's fall and vegetation."
"The material palette includes moss green upholstery, warm timber millwork, and stone surfaces, blurring the boundary between inside and out, creating a fluid and quiet interior."
"On the upper floors, the intimate volume houses suites and a family living area, with balconies positioned precisely at the height of the tree canopy."
"Living among the treetops rather than looking up at them is a subtle but powerful distinction, shaping the daily experience of the house."
House 17-JB, designed by Luiz Volpato Architects, is located in Curitiba, Brazil, on a plot defined by a protected native forest and steep terrain. The design features four overlapping volumes, with a footprint limited to 30% of the 2,300 square meters. This results in a home that feels integrated with the hillside. The architectural style combines modernism and brutalism, using natural materials to create a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Balconies align with the tree canopy, enhancing the living experience.
