Architects Bernardes + Jacobsen has delivered a sophisticating modern house design, down in the Brazilian forest. The house is intended to be a holiday place for a family with two childrens. It comprises a pavilion supported by pillars among the trees with a magnificent view to the open sea.

The house contains en-suites bedrooms, living room(s)/sitting room(s)/dining room(s), balconies and a pool facing the beautiful sight of Guarujá beach. The overlooking scenes to the open sea was a great feature that the house offers, but unfortunately it didn’t follow the best sun orientation. The architect decided to to place the pool away from the building, having then the house east facing and the hillside throwing a shadow over the pool.

Due to the terrain’s inclination, a structural deck 18m above the ground was used as a foundation to the development of a new area. Also, this deck had to be supported by only five tree-shaped concrete pillars because of the difficulties found on making the structural foundation. Above this deck the whole structure is metallic, witch makes the building process simpler, since it’s all made in loco.

Steel was the main structures used in this house, while wood and glass taken part as doors and windows. To create some sense of softness, the floor surface is made by wood, and at the same time make the dock look like floating. In the areas where their aren’t any eaves, the walls are covered with copper and due to the rain exposure, the material will change naturally, making it look even more beautiful. Inside, wood is the main material, used, for example, on the balcony linings.

Accomplishing such a project was very gratifying for the architects. A big, large planned house which disappears in the forest. A great house almost unnoticed among the trees.
