The Block House is a project located in a gated community in Uberlândia that sought to explore the particularities of a corner lot with a steep slope for a better use of the lot. Located on the highest level, the architecture is made up of two monolithic blocks superimposed on each other, supported by a basement.
The sectoring is distributed in a well-defined manner on the three levels, allowing each block a specific function. The service area is located in the basement, and the social sector on the first floor extends to the leisure area, permitting greater integration of the living areas with the garden. On the upper floor, the intimate sector was designed where the en-suites were positioned for a privileged view of the city and protected by a muxarabi trellace that filters the sunlight and offers more privacy to the residents.
The materials used were chosen to emphasize the overlapping of the blocks, where one fulgent block rests on another of concrete. Along with the landscaping proposed for the outdoor and indoor gardens, the use of wood and natural stone sought to create more comfort and promote a greater sense of coziness.
