House in the Woods / Renato Santoro + FJ55 Arquitetos
Briefly

The Renato Santoro Arquitetura office, in partnership with FJ55 Arquitetos, designed a residence in Aldeia da Serra that harmonizes with nature through sustainable materials and innovative techniques.
A major architectural challenge involved working with the natural slope of the terrain, leading to the construction of a retaining wall that ensures the house's privacy while enhancing its integration with nature.
This residence stands out for its emphasis on minimal visual impact, balancing openness towards the forest while maintaining a sense of closure and privacy from the street.
The project successfully utilizes recycled materials, with its structure crafted from treated eucalyptus logs and reclaimed wood, showcasing a commitment to sustainability while providing a rustic authenticity.
