GM House, A Contemporary Home by Padovani Arquitetos

Architecture Design of GM House

Description About The Project

GM House designed by Padovani Arquitetos, perched on a unique plot with a captivating topography, is designed to seamlessly integrate with its natural surroundings while offering breathtaking views. Created for a young family, the residence takes full advantage of the sloped terrain, aligning its form horizontally with the contours of the land. Situated slightly below street level, the home is accessed through a single plateau where a distinct void between the social and private volumes defines the entrance, inviting visitors into its thoughtfully crafted spaces.

A central void covered by a floating metal structure serves as the heart of the house, connecting and unifying its two main volumes. The residence emphasizes horizontality through its expansive metal roof that stretches over both the social and intimate blocks, creating an architectural balance that blends functionality with aesthetic appeal. Natural materials, including bricks, stone, and warm-toned wood, are paired with sleek aluminum panels, offering a harmonious mix of modernity and warmth.

Strategically designed cutouts and hollow elements in the roof introduce green gardens and terraces, enhancing the seamless interaction between the architecture and the lush landscaping. This approach reinforces the home’s commitment to merging indoor and outdoor spaces, resulting in a living environment that is both visually striking and deeply connected to nature.
