Upon crossing the entrance, a garden greets visitors, full of native vegetation from the Atlantic forest, establishing a harmonious link between the building and the surrounding nature. the first impression is of a refuge where tranquility and beauty converge.

​

the main hall, characterized by its spaciousness, reveals a natural stone wall - gray miracema - that ascends vertically, dialoguing with the vastness of the space. the deliberate choice of this element roots the house to its landscape, while the design reinforces the feeling of freedom and connection with the environment. sunlight finds an unexpected ally in the form of a skylight. By seeping through this opening, light evokes an unusual temporal perception, adding an ethereal and timeless feel to the home.

​

a wooden panel, positioned at half height, interrupts the vertical continuity, adding an intriguing dimension. its presence is double, acting as a subtle divider and connecting element, connecting with the private hallway and an office, whose presence is suggested through a strategically incorporated open-top window and a mimicked pivoting door.

the private hallway unfolds like a carefully lit theatrical scene, guiding the viewer to individual rooms and a religious space commandeered by the family. each room has been meticulously designed, expressing unique personalities. In the son's room, the balance between childhood and adolescence is skillfully achieved, ensuring his longevity. the couple's bedroom, in turn, incorporates the same wood that adorns the main room, establishing a visual harmony that runs throughout the house.

In the couple's bedroom, a low-sill window invites the lush landscape to penetrate the space, creating a fusion between comfort and aesthetics. "casa cazé e filgueiras" embodies a contemporary architectural approach, where the residence resonates authenticity, comfort and timeless elegance.
