Lake House | mf+ arquitetos

Upon entering the property, the visitor sees the pool inserted on the shores of the lake and a
rectangular block of 36.5 linear meters!
The subtle feeling of not touching the ground, transforms the brutality of this concrete block into
an elegant lightness, its proportion is entirely linked to the proportion of the human scale, with a
ceiling height of 2.60 the architecture seems to frame the surrounding nature.
The entrance to the house takes place on the opposite side, there you can see two more
volumes covered in stone and both appear to be inserted within the concrete block, one on each
side. Between them, a reflecting pool with a walkway invites you to access the house. These
stone volumes house different functions: one houses the two suites and the private garden of
the master suite, and the other houses the garage, laundry room, toilet, wine cellar and kitchen.
When crossing the walkway, the glass doors open completely and the large living room
integrates with the water mirror and also with the lake! The gap open to the front and back of
the land, brings nature inside in a very intense way.
The living room has a smooth composition of materials: stone floor and walls, concrete ceiling
and wooden panels.
This clearer and more welcoming composition of natural materials contrasts with the
composition of furniture textures, such as leather and linen.
Light invades the interior through the rope brises, which bring beauty and dynamism to the
facade, helping to provide sun protection and also privacy, when necessary.
The house brings very pure lines throughout its extension, direct connection with nature and the
views, authentic materials, brutality and softness allowing the sensations to be fully felt and
appreciated!
