Harmonious Fusion of Utility and Style | LC House

The LC House, situated in Lençóis Paulista – SP, rests on a gently sloping corner lot. Its dynamic layout is organized into three distinct blocks: the garage, the social sector, and the private sector.

At the lowest level of the terrain, the garage serves not only as a shelter for cars and motorcycles but also reflects the resident’s passion for collecting and practicing motocross. With its characteristic design featuring rubber walls, the space seamlessly transforms into a workshop and gym, exemplifying a harmonious fusion of utility and style. Artificial and natural lighting resources are ingeniously incorporated, extending from the two-level displacement of the ceiling to other areas of the house.

An internal ramp smoothly connects the garage to the social hall, acting as the point of connection between the different blocks and the street. The private block, housing bedrooms and an intimate space open to a playroom, faces the garden and is protected by a substantial eave. This architectural element facilitates the use of wood, accommodating windows that cover the entire block.

This residence not only exemplifies a meticulous fusion of aesthetics and functionality but also embraces its surroundings, creating a dynamic living space that seamlessly integrates internal and external areas.

The glass walls on both sides retract completely within the masonry, integrating the interior with the exterior. On one side, they open to a garden facing the street, while on the other side, they connect with the gourmet area, living area, pool, and central garden, providing a flexible configuration to meet various needs.

The social sector, a vibrant hub of activity, encompasses the living room, guest bathroom, dining room, and kitchen in a harmonious open space.

    Space in the Wall The thought process regarding the challenging tall and narrow structure centers around a space that flows through the building and functions as a light cone that allows daylight to pierce through all the way to the basement and a joint wall, made of exposed concrete in “board” configuration, divided into squares, separated from the exterior wall of the house, which is made of glass, and acts as an artistic, somewhat “Brutalistic” element the house, one half of a two-family dwelling on a 220 square meters lot, and 360 square meters built, is designed for 2 young families with 2 children each, each family has 2 floors, the first family has the ground floor (living room, kitchen, dining room and garden) and basement (bedrooms and pool). The second family has the first floor (bedrooms) and the top floor (living room, dining room and a garden balcony)
    The front of the building that faces the street is made with a combination of concrete, steel and wood. We’ve used these natural materials throughout the building. Stairs and banister from steel plates on the ground floor and a banister and counter-top with a sink out of steel grid on the first floor.
    the flooring is out of concrete, with the concrete wall “accompanying” the entire house. Wood beams in the kitchen, the ceiling, a vertical shading and the floor.
    The challenge to create a living space while using every available inch and maintaining privacy, while communicating with the residents who are design enthusiasts was completed with 2 modern villas, each with its own connection to the outside and with a unique and fashionable living space in the dense urban surrounding.
