The house designed for Ansião is the result of a carefully planned rehabilitation process. One of the main premises of this project was the preservation of the building’s original features, with a special focus on the exterior stone walls and the existing wooden structure. These elements not only tell the story of the house, but also play a fundamental role in making it contemporary, connecting it with its historical and cultural roots.
By keeping these original elements, we not only respect the authenticity of the building, but also contribute to the sustainability and durability of the construction. Preserving the stone walls and wooden structure not only adds character and charm to the house, but also promotes the conservation of natural resources and reduces the environmental impact associated with the construction of new materials
rehabilitating a rural house
Designing the change of routines
Architecture plays a fundamental role in shaping people’s daily routines. In a rural context, where structural features and exterior cladding are prominent, architecture has the power to create a new narrative. In designing this house, we introduced new spaces to promote new living experiences. Through large glazed openings, we invited the landscape to become part of the interior, providing a new sensory experience and a complete interaction with the surrounding environment.
The creation of a continuous library to house the various book collections, which are an integral part of the daily lives of the future residents of this house, was an essential part of the design of this project.
With these new decisions and choices, we transformed the routine of the old rural house. We created a setting where everyday life is inspired and enriched by the interaction between the interior space and nature.
the process of each project
the importance of color
Testing solutions in architecture is a fundamental practice to ensure that the project meets all the challenges identified.
Conducting color tests on the kitchen floor coverings, a space where functionality and personalization meet, reflects a commitment to the meticulousness of each environment. Throughout the process, tests were carried out with various coating colors, both in the kitchen and in the bathrooms.
This approach has made it possible to offer a variety of options, highlighting choices that complement the overall project and meet the individual preferences of each user.
Thus, architecture seeks to reflect the unique personality of each project at every stage.
