Located just south of downtown Rehoboth, a beach town in Delaware, USA lies an unexpected small body of water.  Silver Lake forms the western border of the site for this project, a lot which extends east toward the Atlantic Ocean.  Taking advantage of the uniqueness of its location, the house was conceived from the inside out to focus on both the Silver Lake and the Atlantic Ocean views. The house becomes a series of indoor/outdoor spaces that maximize the views inherent to this site.

Alpes São Chico Housing Complex / Porto Quadrado

January 13, 2020 Pilar Caballero 0

Having originally intended to build a single vacation home large enough to be shared by three families on two conjoined 6mx8m lots nestled in the woods of Rio Grande do Sul, the project took a radical turn in order to take advantage of the unique landscape and the vast vegetation. Instead of a single home, the architect utilized three separate structures to create a mixed indoor/outdoor living space with all the accoutrements of a conventional house such as bedrooms, living room, bathroom, kitchen, foyer and barbecue pit (which is essential in the state of Rio Grande do Sul). By optimizing the layout via integration of the outdoor environment, whereby the deck is the extension of the living room and the barbecue serves as a focal point of the foyer, the architect was able to address all of clients’ requirements.
