Summary:
Fernado’s Country House is built as an Eco-efficient modular prototype based on the principles of Brutalist Bauhaus style. Swiftly blending in with the surrounding landscape. The minimalist home exhibits an eye-catchy profile with the juxtaposition of outer seamless concrete structure and a wide array of expansive glass protected with teak plank shades.
Light is at play everywhere, from hitting on the vertical planks casting shadows on the floor to a multidimensional living space with an open plan design. The house relies on 100% solar energy and enlightens the interior spaces with diversified air flow that offers a sustainable style of living to the users. This home brings together multiple aspects of locally available Cumaru Brazilian teak planks that provides warmth to the space and adds an Amazonian look to its modern structure.
