Seamless Integration: The FB House
Embracing Nature and Elegance
The FB House, crafted by Jobim Carlevaro Arquitetos, stands as a testament to seamless integration with its natural surroundings. Situated in the serene Praia de Taquaras, south of Balneário Camboriú, Santa Catarina, this architectural marvel was envisioned as an extension of an existing family home. Inspired by the expansive reception areas of vineyards, the design blends elegance with functionality, offering breathtaking views of the coastline.
Aesthetic Expression through Structure
From a structural perspective, the architects employed a combination of exposed reinforced concrete and engineered eucalyptus wood, resulting in a modular aesthetic that harmonizes with the landscape. Metal columns support the wooden structure, enhancing visual permeability, while aluminum frames and techno-cement flooring complete the ensemble. Internal partitions, crafted from steel frame and drywall, ensure flexibility within the living spaces.
Efficient Utilization of Space
Technical areas and reservoirs are strategically located in the basement, maximizing the use of available space and maintaining the site’s topography. The integration of architecture and nature is evident in every aspect of the design, with transparent glass openings inviting ample natural light and panoramic views. Generous overhangs provide shade during peak sunlight hours, while cross ventilation, facilitated by strategically placed openings and skylights, ensures a cool and comfortable living environment year-round.
A Sanctuary for Socializing and Contemplation
The FB House transcends traditional notions of residential living, offering a sanctuary for socializing and contemplation. Its design not only embraces its natural surroundings but also celebrates them, fostering a deep connection between the built environment and the pristine coastline. As sunlight dances through the glass facade and gentle sea breezes fill the air, residents are invited to immerse themselves in the beauty of their surroundings, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
