Estúdio Zargos Completes Matriz House in Brazil, a 550 m² Residence Blending Water and Landscape

Matriz House, a 550 m² residential development in Brazil, has been finalized by Estúdio Zargos, with an expected completion date of 2026. The design, led by architects Zargos Rodrigues and Fred Rodrigues, emerged from a desire to avoid conventionality, addressing the surrounding dense housing with a blend of introspection and openness. The structure maintains privacy by enclosing its sides while offering views of the distant landscape, creating a seamless flow between the interior, water, nature, and horizon. Outdoors, the architecture merges with the landscape, as the pool reflects the surrounding greenery, blurring the lines between home and nature. The project team also includes Stephanie Cabral, Camilla Laureano, Saulo Saraiva, and Paulo Amorim, with photography by Manuel Sá and Studio Tertulia. Manufacturers involved are Baracho Pedras, Focco Esquadrias, Mekal, and Taj Revestimentos. Curated by Susanna Moreira for ArchDaily, it is categorized under Residential Architecture, Houses.
