surrounded on all sides by tall housing developments, brazilian practice bloco arquitetos has completed a single storey residential property that maximizes its relatively small plot. the dwelling is articulated around a courtyard where a secluded patio bridges between internal and external living accommodation.in order to avoid a monolithic volume that lacked distinction, the design team sought to reinforce the characteristics of each of the structure’s materials. in the internal corridor, that connects communal living space to the bedrooms, the scheme’s distinctive red bricks have been replaced with glass blocks that introduce natural light and offer controlled glimpses of the patio. the walls of the service tower are made from a different pattern of solid bricks, leaving open spaces that ensure illumination and ventilation.
