When the team at MarchettiBonetti+ began designing Deck House, they knew they faced a major challenge: creating an innovative design that met the client's needs while taking full advantage of the site, which boasts a beautiful view of Lagoa da Conceição. Fortunately, right from the initial studies, the team realized they were on the right track: the massing allowed every room to face the lagoon. In addition, it enabled a seamless integration between spaces, especially in the social area: the living room, dining room, kitchen, home theater, and deck. The deck, in fact, is one of the main highlights of the project: the large black-tiled pool in front of it and the lap pool along the side encircle the area, creating the feeling that the house itself becomes one large deck due to the fluid connection between spaces. However, despite the extensive use of glazed openings with wooden frames to frame the beautiful view of Lagoa da Conceição, privacy still had to be ensured.

Simplicity. This is the guiding principle of the Premier Residence, a project that reflects the lifestyle of its owners, a young couple with a baby daughter. The volumetric design, featuring straight lines, large glass panes, wooden louvers, and exposed concrete on the facades, is referenced in the Brazilian modernist architecture of the 1950s and 1960s. The building, composed of an upper-level volume resting on ground-floor pilotis, reinforces this modernist reading. The openings of both the private and social areas face the center of the lot, allowing for the seamless integration of the indoor spaces with the leisure area and the garden, creating a private atmosphere.
