Porto Alegre-based studio Seferin Arquitectura has designed the Casa Maritimo project.Completed in 2011, this 3,875 square foot, two story, contemporary home is located in Tramandai, a Brazilian city in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The living room, dining room and the gourmet area, are fully integrated. Glazed, with glass sliding doors, this block is surrounded by a balcony deck high ground. A slab of concrete makes the cover of this volume, sheltering in a second floor terrace with magnificent view. The brick fireplace is outstanding volume of the environment, and can also be used outdoors on the porch. The materials used externally – brick, wood and cement – are also used internally, bringing the same elements of the facades into the house. These materials allows the house to merge with the landscape. The selection of furniture seeks a balance between rustic and contemporary, mixing design pieces and elements with natural materials.
