Capital House by Ney Lima Architect

Capital House is a contemporary house designed by Ney Lima Architect and is located in Brasília – DF, Brazil. It was completed in 2008 and covers an area of 570.0 m².

The house of architecture influenced by movements that emerged in the 60s – the same as the construction of Brasilia – has no such historical recovery by mere coincidence. The result was a request of residents who love the modernist style and one of the Brazil Capital and from the decision of the architect who chose to create a coherent work with the city, which today is the greatest living example of that school, that clashes with the local context.
The house was delivered in 2008 and is located in Lago Sul region. In 570sqm residence takes shape from straight lines, sober volumes and timely use of coatings where the purity of the constructive elements are intentional.
Although there is a constant rescue the modernist school hangs a contemporary air through the house, not only by the choice of furniture, but also the integration of the environments where the play area and indoor environments become one convenient space when necessary and when the seal of spaces is done by large sliding glass doors, each leaf with 5.80 x 1.30 m, joined by white painted metal structure.
Besides the translucent elements and metal structures, another element stands out, this time in the leisure area where the pool was coated with bright red glass mosaic with white mortar. The color as well as heat the room is also a relaxed attractive for housing that is designed to get comfort with the friends of the owners.

Totteridge by Gregory Phillips Architect

Totteridge is a family home designed by Gregory Phillips Architect, this project is about the modernisation of a grand 1930’s house to make it suitable for the current owners. The owners have a family with four children, both parents work and they all lead a lifestyle very different to that which the building was originally designed for.

The existing 1930’s house had been modified over the years and the room layouts were very awkward and certainly the house did not work well for a modern lifestyle.
The finishes and interiors of the house were in desperate need of updating and the kitchen was very dark. None of the rooms had a good visual connection to the garden. The existing kitchen was located on the north side of the house. The kitchen was connected to extensive utility room spaces. There was nowhere to eat in the kitchen and whilst the dining spaces was at the other end of the house. The ground floor living spaces did not work well.
The project involved reorganizing the interior design of all the ground floor spaces of the house, a rear extension and the refurbishment of the first floor bedrooms. The creation of the small extension at the middle of the rear façade facilitated the creation of a connecting space that links all the major ground floor rooms. This connecting space spans the entire length of the rear of the house. It provides long views within the house and a strong connection between the interiors and the garden. This linking space is completed visually at one end by the bespoke fish tank within the kitchen and at the other end by the baby grand piano with the adjacent colour-changing light box.
