Guaruja House | Bernardes Jacobson
Brazilian architect Bernardes Jacobsen has completed his most recent work, a stunning vacation home in Guaruja Beach, Brazil.
Willing to take advantage of the great sea , the decision to place the pool away from the building was taken, having then the house east facing and the hillside throwing a shadow over the pool.
Due to the terrain’s inclination, a structural deck 18m above the ground was used as a foundation to the development of a new area. Also, this deck had to be supported by only five tree-shaped concrete pillars because of the difficulties found on making the structural foundation. Above this deck the whole structure is metallic, which makes the building process simpler, since it’s all made in loco.
This platform consists of the whole social area of the house and a great external deck with the swimming pool lane in its extremity. The trees where planted in this level, giving a sensation of the house being in the canopy of the trees.
