A boho but contemporary concept for a house in Brazil

NOSSA casa arquitetura as Architects

With a "boho" but contemporary concept, the 130m² house has a functional layout and a project signed by NOSSA Casa Arquitetura in Brazil

The house is a mix of sensory experiences, full of touch, feel and discovery. As well as being a completely functional and usable project, not just aesthetic

To meet the needs and desires of the client, for a house totally focused on nature, sea, fresh air and that had a touch of coziness, the interior designer Daniele Capo, responsible for running the office NOSSA Casa Arquitetura, gathered affection, lightness and spontaneity to put this architectural project into practice. In the 130m² house located in Santana do Paraíba, in São Paulo, it is the second project that the office carries out for the young couple and their daughter.

The main need was a house that would work very well on a daily basis, but that was also adapted to receive friends and family without changing the family dynamics. To meet these demands, the office chose to leave the first floor, where the living room and kitchen are located, fully integrated with the outdoor area that, when open, keeps all environments connected.

For the idealization of the project, the architect was inspired by nature, for this reason natural materials were the key point of the whole project, among them: stones, biribas, pebbles and straw. The more natural proposal gives the project a more "boho" concept, although still with a contemporary touch. The idea was not to work with a project in a single concept, so it was decided to mix styles, making the house functional and with an aesthetic pleasing to the eye.

Once the client's needs were understood and the aesthetics of the project were defined - elements that were the key piece - all its development happened in a fluid and harmonious way. The combination of natural elements was essential throughout the process. The stones were used in several versions and different applications, among them: Moledo, São Tomé and Seixo. The other elements used were biriba, straw, wood and natural stone monolithic. Moledo stone was used on the wall of the outdoor area, São Tomé on the floor and barbecue and pebbles in the bathrooms. The biriba was used to make a differentiated lining both in the toilet and in the coverage of the external area. Wood is a material present in all environments of the house, while straw was used punctually in some joinery and lamps.
