Casa Ghibli references the magical and fantastical universe created by the animation Studio Ghibli, which inspired the owners of the house.

Following the architecture-climate integration, the house incorporates bioclimatic strategies translated into technical-constructive solutions adapted to the local environmental and climatic conditions in regard to passive environmental comfort, sustainability, and energy performance.

The house is suspended from the ground as a longitudinal platform, with a programmatic arrangement organized in two intimate and service modules positioned at the extremities, united by a central space with doubled height. The main purpose of suspending the house is to avoid infiltration problems and to optimize indoors thermal efficiency. This solution also allows for the electrical, plumbing, and sewage installations to be kept apparent. A pit excavated under and along the platform provides the necessary conditions for practical and comfortable maintenance of the installations. The toilets are positioned on the side gables, allowing for agile and sustainable maintenance from the external area of the house through wall shafts.

The house is covered by a double-pitch roof and crowned by a technical platform that provides access to technical support for the photovoltaic modules, as well as for the shaft for internal air circulation and renewal.

The option for a modular metal construction system and the specification of materials according to the dimension of the modules, allowed construction in a short period of time with minimum material waste.
