QUADROS House / gruta.arquitetos
Bauru, Brazil
333 m² = 3584 ft²

The house design was developed to accommodate a couple and their three children. On a 620m² lot within a gated community, care was taken to ensure the layout was compartmentalized in a way that the required setbacks could integrate the social spaces.
By densifying the private areas into a longitudinal block, it became possible to understand how to configure the layout, and the starting point emerged.
The family shares an integrated dynamic, practicing music, visual arts, and gastronomy. Occasionally, the activities occur simultaneously, and the suggestion of a permeable social environment facilitated the communion between the practices.The social area encompasses virtually the entire functional program of the house, with an office/studio and living/music room separated by a clearing with a jaboticaba tree and an adjoining kitchen/barbecue area, transitioning to the back where the swimming pool and television room are located.

My soul just left my body.
Maybe a great layout, but it looks like a bunker with no soul.
Where is the color, the personality?
