Service area?And to the toilet they go throught the window?You must pass throught the kitchen(and somebody is working just…making the breakfast for example),the area is ok for the kitchen-but theres an intersection of routes and connections which shouldnt intersect…I agree-the toilet door isnt right on the view-thanks God for that! :).

The bathroom of Service, which some pointed as a problem in the project, is connected to the service area and not the kitchen.

Nice project guys, the simplicity works well as a contrast to the natural.

i must say the composition is great and the way it relates to its surroundig is beautiful…al least how its shown in the pictures. I must also say that the pictures in itself have a beautiful composition, thmbs up to the photografer. I do have a question, i´m just starting to study architecture so i don´t have much criteria so I would like to know why rokas says that the kitchen-dinning table-wc is a mess. if you would be so kind to answer i´d really apreciate it.

Thanks.

You just have to admire the simplicity and belonging to its environment.

Nice project. Simple and effective.
Good composition and relationship with the surround.
I would like to agree with Rokas, partially.
The kitchen is almost there, and in the bathroom i suppose we can´t stand up in tub without showing your parts to the neighbors.
Anyway, this is a new born brazilian studio, at least to the media, inclusive brazilian media, and here we need people doing things that are different, in a good way. And it´s the case of Paralelo.
Hugs guys.

I really like the outdoor space and especially the possibility for the separate bedroom area. It would be a nice idea for an addition to many existing houses, putting on an outdoor covered area like this connecting to a guest house of sorts. And I always like corrugated metal.

Nice in overal composition,but the kitchen-dining table-wc is a mess, and I, personally,don’t like this part of the plan at all.
