JF Residence / ZALC Arquitetura
Textual content material description supplied by the architects. The problem was developed for a pair who acknowledge art work and the modernist/brutalist sort which may be very present in Higienópolis, the neighborhood the place it’s positioned. We positioned the work even sooner than starting the construction course of, highlighting primarily the Burle Marx and the triptych work.
The residence was, initially, correctly divided with many rooms. We chosen to remove the service mattress room with a view to extend not solely the service house nonetheless primarily the kitchen, sectored by sliding doorways.
In addition to, the configuration and use of the two present bedrooms had been modified, creating new closing potentialities, harking back to a curved wall product of metalwork and glass.
The first downside on this problem was to make sure minimal finishes whatever the imperfections and irregularities typical of a brutalist modernist residence. The picket floor is genuine nonetheless had been coated with epoxy paint. As a option to preserve the distinctive floor included inside the new construction, it was important to remove all the bottom and take care of it. The curves, which meet the terrazzo floor, don’t solely have an aesthetic affect: this decision wanted to be given because of there was not enough flooring for all of the social house. In the master suite, the curves had been included by the panel executed in Portuguese stones, making a hyperlink with the sidewalks in Rio designed by Burle Marx, certainly one of many residents’ favorite artists. It’s attention-grabbing to analysis the excellence of the created curves, with the brutalism belonging to the concrete that was evidenced each time doable.
Utilizing colors was very punctual, primarily inside the furnishings, artworks, and in some excellent elements, harking back to the doorway door in the master suite, which was impressed by the Mondrian. Colors are moreover present inside the furnishings and artworks, always highlighted by the white on the partitions.
