SÃO PAULO, Brazil — Cstudio set out for the Brisa House project to redefine the concept of home, combining design, sustainability, and innovation. With its vertical structure and expansive sea views, the large windows and strategic use of the balcony maximize visual contact with the sea and the surrounding nature, providing an immersive experience.
In terms of innovation, the project stands out for its intelligent use of materials and adaptive design. The 8-meter-long tensioned canvas light fixture, for example, is not just a light source but also a centerpiece that changes its appearance with the daylight, replicating the colors of the sunset and adding a dynamic dimension to the space.
Other highlights include:
The Rosso marble wall showcases a piece by Brazilian artist Bechara. A sliding panel conceals the TV screen, which slides open when needed.
The Equilíbrio table, created by FCstudio, is inspired by the choreography of a ballerina. Its cantilevered metal structure supports a 16-foot-long top, allowing the table to accommodate social interactions around it with a light and sculptural presence, relying on just a single support.
The Libélula table, also designed by FC Studio, is inspired by the wings of a dragonfly. The table's legs add lightness and open up the view for residents to the beautiful surrounding landscape. The amorphous top is combined with the natural veins of Rafaello marble.
The Onda sideboard is inspired by the coastline of São Paulo. Designed by FCstudio, the sideboard was created based on a photo of Iporanga beach, capturing the moment when the sea waves meet the sand. The curved Krion doors were shaped in an organic and symbolic way to translate the genius loci of the piece into furniture design.
The Stonehenge Table also carries the FCstudio DNA. It is inspired by the robustness of the Neolithic stones of Stonehenge. The tabletop and structure are formed solely by the positioning of the parts, all made from the same material, raw and timeless. It was created using leftover materials from the house under construction.
