Luxury Indoor Outdoor Living With a Mid-Century Tilt | NZ House

Located in a gated community in the city of Uberlândia, MG, the NZ House was designed for a family that enjoys hosting friends and relatives. In this sense, the residence, which has a “U”-shaped layout, allows for well-defined zoning on a single floor, placing leisure and social spaces at the center of the home’s dynamics.

In addition to the main living room, a wine cellar was created in the basement, complete with a sitting area to entertain guests. There is also a terrace deck that allows users to contemplate the city view.

The integration with nature is expressed through the central garden, where the pool is inserted in a manner similar to natural pools, from the choice of its shape to the materials used. Another important aspect was the use of large glass panels in the social sector, providing greater integration with the pool area, central garden, and side gardens.

The use of natural materials, bricks, and landscaping complements the use of corten steel, bringing greater comfort to the project and creating pleasant spaces.

  • Salt Spring Island Residence 2

    This project was commissioned by a couple living in Vancouver who fell in love with Salt Spring Island (as many do) and decided to build their dream home on a beautiful high-bank waterfront lot overlooking views of Sansum Narrows and Vancouver Island beyond. The clients had an affinity for mid-century modern design and requested that the house be reminiscent of that style. As one ascends the driveway an accessory building presents itself containing a garage and studio. A path leads from the accessory building to the house which is nestled into a rocky hill and surrounded by several large arbutus trees. The house is a U shape plan framing a courtyard overlooking the ocean. Living spaces are arranged at the centre or bottom of the U with 2 sleeping wings on either side projecting toward the ocean. Both the house and accessory building are clad in black vertical wood siding and protected by flat roofs with generous overhangs. Large sliding glass doors provide seamless transitions from inside to outside and maximize the natural light. Walnut flooring and cabinetry are featured throughout the home to provide a richness and warmth. This home is a tranquil setting to light a fire, have some wine, and watch the eagles soar in front of a backdrop of pacific north-west magic.
