Architecture Design of 01 TVN House

Description About The Project

01 TVN House, tucked away amidst the lush tropical forest of Itacaré, Brazil emerges, artfully blending into its verdant surroundings. Designed by Saraiva e Associados, this architectural gem was meticulously crafted in harmony with the environmental constraints and condominium regulations. The primary goal was to ensure that the house seamlessly integrated with the natural landscape without disrupting it or necessitating extensive earthwork.

This project draws its inspiration from the breathtaking neighboring landscape, a place that demanded architectural simplicity and minimalism. This approach, combined with the site’s gentle slope, allows each ensuite bedroom to offer panoramic views of the sea.

Indeed, the choice of materials of exterior and interior of 01 TVN House reflects a delicate balance between environmental considerations and practicality. Ultracompact surfaces, minimal lining, and quartzite carefully selected due to their resilience in the challenging local environment.

The construction process was rigorous and demanding, involving foundation reinforcement, protective measures, retaining structures, specialized drainage techniques. And impermeable barriers to safeguard the house against environmental forces.

In addition to the main house, two other remarkable structures grace the property: the Orchid Botanical Garden and the Beach Bar. The Orchid Botanical Garden serves as a sanctuary for a collection of orchids destined to adorn the main house. A striking geometric prism, constructed from laminated wood, houses around 1,500 orchid plants.

01 TVN House designed with the utmost consideration for the privacy and togetherness of its residents — a large, close-knit family and their extended relatives. This remarkable house, hidden amidst the beauty of the tropical forest, stands as a testament to architectural ingenuity and environmental respect.
