The Brisa residence is an example of contemporary architecture that blends aesthetics, innovation, and ergonomics. Its vertical structure and wide sea view integrate the house with the landscape, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior. The interior design, featuring custom pieces inspired by elements of the beach and sea, naturally merges with the surroundings. The use of natural stone and specific technologies resistant to solar rays and sea spray ensures the project's durability, while also facilitating cleaning and maintenance. The large windows and balconies maximize visual contact with nature, providing an immersive experience that directly impacts the well-being of the occupants. Additionally, the project adopts a sustainable approach, using wood from renewable sources, and the glass allows for maximum natural light, reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. Cross ventilation and solar energy water heating also contribute to minimizing environmental impact. This project harmonizes the primary concept of habitation by integrating design, functionality, and a strong emotional and ecological connection with the natural environment.
Bio Flavio Castro had the opportunity to start designing and building early, with only 20 years old. Flavio defends that practical experience completes academic theory, and has always worked in these two areas, with experience in architectural firms inside and outside Brazil. After three years of Masters in Barcelona, he returned to Brazil and settled in São Paulo, founding FCstudo in 2009. The collaboration system that exists within the office allows a constant exchange of information among professionals who join the team depending on each project´s demand.
