Architecture Design of Casa Onze

Description About The Project

Casa Onze perched on the picturesque South coast of Alagoas, stands as a refined example of architecture that gracefully merges with its surrounding seascape. Designed by UNA barbara e valentim, this coastal retreat is thoughtfully organized around a central internal garden, lush with flora native to the region’s biome, offering a tranquil green heart to the home.

The entrance to Casa Onze is marked by a large marquee, a versatile space that sets the tone for the seamless flow of the house. On the ground floor, movement is guided by expansive balconies that integrate various living spaces, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor environments.

The house is divided into two distinct volumes. The first, a horizontal slab, contains the internal garden, social spaces, service areas, and guest accommodations. The second volume, elevated above, houses the family’s private quarters, offering sweeping views of the beach and ocean beyond. A large void above the living room visually connects both floors, creating a dynamic, open space that allows light and air to flow freely.

The living and dining areas, encased in glass and sheltered by generous verandas, engage with two scales of landscape: the vast, ever-changing seascape and the intimate, serene internal garden. The architectural design strategically maximizes natural light and ventilation throughout the home, with verandas serving as crucial transitional spaces that enhance the overall comfort and livability of the house.

The integration of the swimming pool within the home’s structure provides shaded areas in the water, ensuring a comfortable and refreshing experience. Rooftop gardens further blend the home with the natural surroundings, creating a seamless union between the built environment and the coastal landscape.
