\"Casa<\/div>\n

Local studio Bloco Arquitetos<\/a> has completed a house in Bras\u00edlia<\/a> surrounded by brick screens<\/a> and wide entry portals that open up the central courtyard<\/a> to the exterior. <\/span><\/p>\n

Known as Casa Tupin, the 420-square-metre (4,520-square-foot) residence is rectangular with a large central courtyard.<\/p>\n

The 2025 house, set in a gated community 20 kilometres from Bras\u00edlia, was designed to integrate the interior and exterior with the courtyard, which functions as both the leisure space and the connective core of the home.<\/p>\n

“A house without windows, that is a window itself \u2013 rather than opening punctual views, the project seeks to transform the entire architectural body into a mediator between interior life and the surrounding landscape,” Bloco Arquitetos<\/a> told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“This approach results in a building that engages the environment through performance rather than transparency,” the studio said.<\/p>\n

Instead of large expanses of glazing, the vertical planes between the raised concrete slab and deep roof structure are coral-coloured brick \u2013 arranged as solid walls or breeze block-like screen \u2013 wrapping the house in texture and filtered light.<\/p>\n

Selected for durability and composition consistency, the brick and concrete protect the interior from excessive heat. The restrained palette allows light, shadow and time to become part of the architecture, the studio explained.<\/p>\n

“This porous facade acts simultaneously as solar protection and as a permanent ventilation filter, allowing air to flow in all directions throughout the house,” the studio said.<\/p>\n

“All spaces are organized in relation to this system, which integrates structure, climate control and spatial experience into a single architectural strategy.”<\/p>\n
