Brisa House by FCstudio
Brisa House anchors a coastal site in Guarujá, Brazil, where FCstudio shapes a contemporary house around ocean views, breeze, and light. The 2024 residence leans into a vertical stance and wide glazing to fold daily life toward the Atlantic while dialing in resilience for sea air and sun. Inside, program and outlook sit in balance.
Morning slides in off the Atlantic and washes the rooms in pale light. From the upper terraces, the horizon holds steady while the plan drops toward the water.
This is a coastal house in Guarujá by FCstudio, organized vertically to seize the ocean view and the breeze. The core idea is elemental: align materials, openings, and flow with climate so daily life stays connected to sea, sun, and air.
Open To The Sea
Large windows and long balconies face the water, setting up constant visual contact and an easy indoor–outdoor threshold. Sliding panels stack aside to widen the frame, letting daylight run deep and pulling the eye to a blue edge that steadies the interior’s rhythm.
Circulate Coastal Air
Cross ventilation moves through aligned apertures so rooms stay fresh without heavy mechanical load. The vertical organization encourages a soft pressure difference, drawing cooler air from shaded sides toward sunlit edges and reducing heat buildup across the day.
Work With Sun
Glass admits generous daylight, cutting the need for artificial lighting while keeping the horizon in view. A tensioned fabric luminaire takes on the sun’s color—at dusk it lifts warm tones and becomes a quiet focal point above evening routines.
Material Choices Endure
Natural stone grounds floors and thresholds, chosen for heft and easy upkeep in salt-laden air. Exterior finishes and specialized components resist UV and corrosion, so maintenance stays reasonable and surfaces hold their character over time.
Sustain the Routine
Wood comes from renewable sources and brings measured warmth where hands meet rail, door, and stair. Solar-powered water heating trims energy use, and the plan’s practical circulation links daily tasks with outlooks so ordinary moments gain a quiet lift.
By afternoon, shade slides across stone and a breeze crosses the rooms. Balconies catch the last light, the fabric lamp warms, and the sea lines the view like a constant measure.
