Fernanda padula\u2019s casa royal tucks into a sloped site<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Casa Royal by Fernanda Padula emerges as an expression of harmony between architecture and terrain. Located on a sloped plot in Brazil<\/strong><\/a>, the single-storey residence<\/strong><\/a> is carefully embedded into the site, embracing the contours of the landscape while reflecting a visual sensibility that remains sensitive to light and air. With a bold form, the project stands out for the use of exposed materials, which reinforces the robustness and functionality of the structure and also provides a raw, genuine aesthetic that conveys the strength of the material in its purest form.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Its walls rise in response to the topography, while revealing the construction process itself \u2014 a gesture aligned with the brutalist idea of celebrating materials in their most honest form. Here, raw concrete<\/strong><\/a> intertwines with hollow bricks<\/strong><\/a> which are strategically positioned on the facades of the bedrooms, function as sunshades, controlling the incidence of direct light and interpreting one of the most relevant architectural objects of South America: the cobog\u00f3.<\/p>\n

Architect<\/a> <\/strong>Fernanda Padula\u2019s use of cobog\u00f3 adds a softness and permeability to the design, creating a connection between the internal and external spaces, allowing natural light to enter, and promoting effective cross-ventilation. In addition to fulfilling practical functions, the cobog\u00f3 has a strong aesthetic character, creating a play of shadows that changes throughout the day and intensifies the sense of dynamism within Casa Royal. At night, the box transforms into a large lantern, illuminating the plot through the intricate panels of the facade.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The decision to build a single-story house reinforces the project\u2019s deep connection to the terrain, allowing for a seamless transition between interior spaces and the surrounding landscape. Prioritizing a lifestyle in dialogue with nature, the architecture adapts to this context. Organized into three distinct volumes \u2014 service, social, and private \u2014 the design follows a logic of lightness and clarity, with pure geometries ensuring coherence and balance throughout. And though modest in appearance, the house embodies a quiet complexity shaped by design challenges and thoughtful execution.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
