Architecture Design of K House

Description About The Project

K House, a captivating architectural masterpiece, stands proudly as the dream abode for a family yearning to embrace each day with a view of the mesmerizing sunset. Crafted with three overlapping volumes, the house showcases a harmonious blend of exposed concrete, natural stone, and metal structure, defining its unique character.

Situated on a sloped lot with dual access to streets, Casa K unfolds over three floors, taking full advantage of the topography. The front facade, adorned with wooden louvers, addresses privacy concerns while allowing the play of natural light. Accessible through a grand staircase, the horizontal social area on the first floor features a living room, dining space, and gourmet area that seamlessly extends to an external balcony, offering breathtaking views of Gramado’s valleys. A cantilevered infinity pool, surrounded by a deck, enhances the outdoor experience, while a reflecting pool acts as a captivating barrier to the eaves.

Architectural finesse is showcased on the rear facade, where a 9-meter cantilevered metal beam adds a distinctive visual element. The first floor accommodates a guest suite, daughter’s suite, office, and a bathroom, providing functional spaces for various needs. The upper floor introduces an exposed concrete volume exclusively dedicated to the master suite, complete with a closet and a bathroom that offers panoramic views of the valley.

The basement houses a cellar and gym, complemented by an entrance hall connected to the garage. Notably, a spacious area in the garage, supported by a pillar that extends to the first floor, adds structural grace to the design. The delicate elegance of the back volume contrasts with the robust privacy of the front facade, where a captivating interplay of metal structure, natural stone, and exposed concrete defines the allure of Casa K. This residence encapsulates the epitome of architectural charm, offering a sanctuary that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings.

K House, striking multi-volume house by Mayresse Arquitetura — On the front facade of K House, the designer worked on privacy associated with natural light through wooden louvers.

Located on a lot overlooking the valley, K House has a very peculiar feature: exit to two streets. The topography of the land, with a slope from left to right and front to back, made it possible to distribute it over three floors.
