Brasília, Brazil
Design 2013
Casa Pereira takes a common feature of Brazilian houses - the outdoor tiled roof covering a churrascaria - and modernizes it. Using the same materials and assembly methods, the roof over this churrascaria slopes in only one direction, shedding water to the nearby cerrado and away from the house. The top of the perimeter wall slopes and playfully bends into the space, screening where needed but also creating a hilly backdrop to the open space beneath the roof.
