YPSILLON HOUSE
CONCEPT
The Ypsillon House was designed at the residential complex Damha II, which is located in Cidade Ocidental, GO. The house is located in front of an environmental reserve, exposing the resident to a natural view. The client of Ypsillon House requested that the house had a space for the production of architectural models and based on this desire, the concept of having a house and work area separated, solely by a leisure area, was generated and the two wings were connected by service areas of the house, including kitchen, garage and service area.
Designed with a sustainable and modern conception, solar panels were implemented in the coverage area, aiming to optimize all technology to generate clean and self-sustainable energy, and a mixed steel and glass pergola. In addition, to prevent future infiltrations, the slabs will be waterproofed throughout the entire roof. Along with the other elements, gutters to collect rainwater will be installed and directed to the lower reservoir. Such a reservoir will serve to irrigate green areas.
On the second floor, the resident will have initial contact with the TV room, which will be a starting point for the remaining rooms. As a complement, each of the two bedrooms will have a space reserved for a desk and a suite with a large walking closet. In order to contemplate and enjoy nature, the three rooms will have their own passage available to the hot tub, an organic garden, and on the front, a shared balcony. Additionally, allowing circulation and connection with the rest of the house, the second floor will have a wide view of the pool on the ground floor.
On the ground floor, three strategic accesses will be available. First, a social entrance, at the front, which will allow direct access to the dining room and living room and consequently to the rest of the house. Right after these environments, the individual will see the pool area, giving it greater variety and visual richness. In addition to this access, Ypsillon House will also have an exclusive entrance to the studio through the internal garden, consequent to the garage, which will allow access to the work area. The work and social areas will be connected by an internal hall, where the kitchen will be located.
