Casa Costa Nova
Between the Ria lagoon and the sea, where the intensity of the light and the reflection of the water is always present, the house defines a translucent monolith, like an amber cube, permeable to light, but opaque to curiosity. Outside one sees the wooden curtains, inside one looks at the lagoon. The program distributes a two floor weekend house, with spaces that extend it outwards. Looking at the pool grows a satellite wood volume, kind of a shutter crystallization, which materializes a winter room resting over the kitchen.
