A Riverfront Retreat in Brazil Boasts a Communal Pavilion
Solo Arquitetos assigned one volume as private and one as social, then "mis-aligned" them "to create movement and independence." The goal was for the resulting home to follow the topography of the site and act as an elevated platform from which to take in the view of the woods and wetlands near the Paranapanema River in Alvorada do Sul.
The view of the home from the driveway shows their staggered positions nestled into a slight slope. The materiality of the two volumes were an important element. The "private" structure on the right hosts the bedrooms and was constructed in stones pulled from the site, "adding a beautiful layer of the red colors from the region to the project." The "social" structure on the left houses the communal living areas.
