That Amazing Rainfall Shower

The rain shower is not a revolutionary idea, but it is something that is bound to improve the luxury quotient of your bathroom almost instantly. Rainfall shower heads can be placed pretty much anywhere and combining it with a body sprayer is the perfect way to rejuvenate after a long, hard day. The rainfall shower head is much larger than your usual shower head and you can add a thermostatic control unit for a constantly hot or cold shower at a temperature you like. It is definitely time to replace your old shower head with a rainfall shower this season!

Soak and Refresh in an Awesome Tub

Those who might have just stepped into the world of interior design and decorating might feel that the freestanding tub is all too common in the bathroom, but that was not the case a decade ago. If you love the freestanding bathtub, then try out the luxurious soaking tub this season. These tubs are usually deeper than your normal bathtubs and they offer a fabulous dip that promises to ease away all your woes. From freestanding bathtub with contemporary style in white to classic and vintage claw-foot tubs, you have plenty of options to choose from.

Energize the Space with a Fireplace

Fireplace in the bathroom is another cool feature that you should definitely try in 2020. Bathroom fireplace can become an instant focal point in a neutral space where it is generally white, grays and light blues that hold sway. Place it not too far away from your soaking tub and you have a magical setting that is perfect for a relaxing or romantic evening. Modern gas fireplaces are pretty easy to install and they can be incorporated into the tiniest of bathrooms with ease. The beauty of a flickering fireplace is just something you cannot describe in here and it is sure to turn even the most mundane master bathroom into an absolute showstopper!

  • Casa Haras

    1. How did you land the project and what was the brief? Initially the customers were looking for a house with volumetry that would hide the roofs, but the regulation of the condominium did not allow the use of flat slabs, nor a built-in roof. It would be our first house with apparent roofs. The required needs program and the size of the plot had the exact proportion for what we believed to be ideal for a single-storey house with plenty of open space for outside living, and so we did.
    Haras house came up as a pavilion installation consisting of 3 volumes: two parallels, with NE-SW orientation and a third perpendicular connecting with NW-SE orientation, as an “H”. The idea was based on the desire to have the central leisure area in the other spaces of the house, and with the proposed implantation, we were able to create two outdoor living areas: a main one with a deck and a swimming pool and a secondary area with a spa, a water mirror and a bonfire separated by the perpendicular volume and visually connected by the transparency of the sliding glass doors. 2. What was significant about the site? The land chosen within a stall in the interior of São Paulo, concentrated a number of positive aspects for the design of the project: views, large plot, solar orientation, generous setbacks, high soil permeability, no outside walls. 3. What was the overall design goal? The simple volume and purity of the gable roof in all 3 blocks of the house ended up contributing significantly to the harmony of the whole and to the desired country house aspect, which was further strengthened by the use of natural materials such as the stone coating on the gables of the walls and the use of the wood in the panels of doors and slatted of the facade. 4. What was the color pallet? The project explores in exterior areas the colors of natural materials such as the wood used in the slats of the whole facade of the house, the roof, also wood but with a shade of gray and stone walls. The contrast is quite striking with some internal areas, where the walls and white lining create a neutral and minimalist space. 5. What was particularly challenging? The main challenge of the project was to create a contemporary home using sloped roofs, in a minimalist architecture using natural materials. This challenge sought to coherently insert the project in the place that was built, a condominium in a stable – called “Haras” in Portuguese which gives the name of the house, with an air of farm in the interior of São Paulo- Brazil, a refuge for the tranquility at the weekends. 6. How does this project compare to other projects you have completed? This project differs from others for being a single-story house in a large terrain and with natural landscape around it. The fact that the house is single-story provided a widespread deployment in the land that generated direct relations of all the environments with the outdoor areas landscaped, which increased the sensation of the built space and strengthened the use of the external areas as a continuity of the built environment. 7. Could you please go into detail about a few pieces of furniture,including why these were selected? The pieces of furniture were selected especially for each room, proposing an integrating of the spaces. The sofa in the living room, for example, integrate both spaces, the fireplace and the outside gardens. The mix of materials is certainly a charm in this project. In the dinning room, the wood dinning table signed by the Brazilian designer Theo Egami contrasts with the metal chairs feet by Fernando Jaeger. 8. Could you please go into detail about a few fixtures, including whythese were selected? The lighting is mostly made by points of indirect light, creating a more intimate look in the house. In the social central pavilion, spots were used facing the wood lining, creating a light effect on the wood. Some interesting pieces have been used in specific spaces, such as in the kitchen, hanging with the exposed wiring that run through the wall and ceiling until they reach the bench and lavatory point, where the architects used hydraulic copper pieces to create a luminaire exclusively to the project. 9. What did you intend to impart with the rooms and how are theydifferent from each other? The flat distribution of the house program gives all rooms and environments a sense of continuity beyond the limit built, since all have direct visual relation through glazed sliding doors with more than 1150 m² of free ground and high permeability index of the ground, have secured a generous area for landscaping that embraces the house by the front, side and back indents, and advance through the central core. The differences between the rooms are related to the user, 1 double suite fully integrated with the bathroom, which has a glazed shower facing the bedroom. There are two other similar suites, also with double beds, but to receive guests in the house and finally the children’s room, a suite that has two large beds that can be shared.
