"This house is named the 10º house because the axis of the facade is tilted 10 degrees to the east. This project is a renovation of an old house. It is a striking example of contemporary tropical architecture, merging robust material expression with a refined spatial composition. The house exhibits a monolithic exterior characterized by board-formed concrete façades that evoke a raw yet deliberate aesthetic."
"Text description provided by the architects. The texture of the concrete panels-retaining the imprint of the wooden formwork-imbues the structure with a tactile quality, grounding it in material honesty and craftsmanship. The interplay between solid and void is orchestrated through precisely placed apertures and deep recesses, allowing controlled daylight to filter through while maintaining privacy from the street."
The 10° house has a façade axis tilted ten degrees east and is a renovation of an old house. The design exemplifies contemporary tropical architecture by combining robust material expression with refined spatial composition. The exterior reads as monolithic, formed from board-formed concrete facades that retain the imprint of wooden formwork. The textured concrete panels produce a tactile quality that emphasizes material honesty and craftsmanship. Solid volumes and voids are balanced through precisely placed apertures and deep recesses. Controlled daylight filters into interiors while the deep recesses maintain privacy from the street.
