JOÃO DANIEL ARCHITECTURE
The house located in Orla do Rio Doce , in Governador Valadares , Minas Gerais , has 365m ² and was built for a couple with three children , a 10-year-old girl , a four-year-old girl and a six-month-old baby .
It is a very united family that likes to gather friends at home to enjoy leisure time . They are souvenir collectors , love poetry and value every moment together .
Architect João Daniel carried out the construction project for the property , from architectural detailing to carpentry and final decoration . As the house is on an island , the concern with possible flooding , due to the increase in the volume of water in the Rio Doce , as a result of the rains , was the initial focus of the work . The idea then was to raise an entire floor 2.70m above street level , resulting in a breathtaking view of the Orla boardwalk and treetop height . The property also has all the intimate and social part facing the morning sun .
Clients wanted a very rustic house with lots of stone , so the architect chose to use regional stones , such as Calcita Mel Dourada Rolada and 80 % finished in natural peroba wood from the countryside . Many mining pieces and furniture with a more vintage style were also used , such as a dressing table , table and chair , which came from their families .
