Cavalcante House
The topography has a slight downward slope towards the back of the lot, where a valley with native vegetation dominates the view. The program was distributed in two perpendicular pavilions positioned on slightly different levels. Both pavilions are slightly elevated from the ground for two main reasons: to allow the preservation of the existing topography and to prevent small animals such as insects and lizards, from entering the house.ο»Ώ
Two open elevated walkways connect both pavillions. The idea was to maximize the direct contact with the local weather conditions. All the construction materials were chosen based on two main premises: they should age well under the natural weather conditions wherever needed without the need for constant maintenance and they should never “hide” their “natural” appearance.ο»Ώ
