Detailed information in relation to Slice House&lt

Slice House becomes one of modern architectures in Brazil. This house features a series of spatial illusions in the interior spaces. The Slice House belongs to Brazilian modernist architecture but its form takes a more contemporary European interest in asymmetrical complexity. Brazilian architecture focuses on open plan typology, large extrovert spaces, swimming pool, outdoor living and lush garden flora. This house also performs in a British way of its steel front facade cladding, roof, gutters and grillwork. Precisely, the building of Slice House stands on an urban residue leftover after the opening of a new road on the west side of the site.

“Based on archdaily.com, the project is a hybrid of Brazilian and British concerns. Although the building makes reference to Brazilian modernist architecture, its form takes a more contemporary European interest in asymmetrical complexity. Brazilian elements are the implementation of local concrete engineering, open plan typology, large extrovert spaces, swimming pool, outdoor living and lush garden flora. Concrete is not used in a typical Brazilian grand engineering gesture or sculptural form, but something more discrete. Thin continuous reinforced concrete structural walls bridge over the long slot windows and garage bay, but are not expressed as beams and disappear within the skin of the building. The diagonal concrete stair beam, which angles down to support the cantilevered corridor, also disappears into a wrapping ribbon line, which flows around the courtyard.
