casa caiçara

SITE PLAN + EXISTING BUILDING RENOVATION + DECK + PAVILION 1

The CAIÇARA House are being developed at SUBdV Arquitetura e Design. It is about 3 hours from Sao Paulo – Barra do Sahy. The site is in an Atlantic Forest Mountain with limited car access. We are planning to add detached 4 bedrooms on the site, because of the limitations with material transportation and the desire to somehow manufacture off-site (in Sao Paulo) and bring in pieces for site assemblage. We can’t build on a hilly part of the site since it is within the 33-meter Brazilian marine coast requirement to keep out any new construction.

The idea is to build 2 pavilions with two bedrooms/ bathrooms each. The existing building would receive the shared common spaces (kitchen, living room, and balcony). We want to build with the most negligible impact and without removing trees. The project below is not the latest version, but some modifications were made. We are currently building the upper wood deck.
