Located in Jardins, Ibsen House stands out as a dense and introspective building. Its adjusted volume defines a striking presence, with facades that close off from the street and reveal, internally, a more fluid path between patios and balconies. The materiality reinforces this interpretation: the dark, austere brick contrasts with the vegetation that spreads throughout the house, from the spring that rests on the open wall to the steel cables that guide the greenery towards the roof.Save this picture!Save this picture!The limited land led to a vertical solution, distributing the uses in a precise manner. On the ground floor, the living, dining and kitchen spaces connect to the backyard garden, while the wine cellar and gym occupy more private areas. On the middle level, four suites and a family room face patios and small balconies, bringing in natural light and ventilation. On the roof, the leisure area opens up to the urban landscape, taking advantage of the view of the city skyline. Flávia's landscaping complements this space, creating an elevated terrace where greenery blends with architectural elements.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!With a strong influence from Mexican architecture, the house is structured in well-defined blocks, marked by recesses and recesses. The materiality, however, moves away from Barragán's vibrant colors and opts for a more sober palette, in tune with the profile of the residents – a young couple with two children. The result is a robust architecture that balances solidity and permeability, creating an urban refuge where greenery gradually takes over the space and envelops it.Save this picture!
