Grota House by Esquadra Arquitetos Frames Cerrado Landscape in Brasilia
Esquadra Arquitetos has developed Grota House, a residential project situated in Jardim Botânico, Brasilia, adjacent to a designated preservation area. The architects designed the primary living areas to face the landscape, enhancing the relationship between the indoors and the natural surroundings. Covering 251 square meters, this single-story home comprises three distinct sections: a linear pavilion, a garage, and a separate suite featuring a kitchenette. The design incorporates visual perspectives of the greenery, seamlessly blending the native forest with the interior spaces. Constructed from concrete and steel, the orange-painted steel framework stands out against the lush greens of the Cerrado. The project also boasts a terrace and swimming pool, turning environmental factors into design elements. It was featured on Glocal.mx on September 8, 2026.
