Studio Gontijo Arquitetura completes Casa Boutique, a two-generation residence in Brasília

In 2021, Studio Gontijo Arquitetura realized Casa Boutique, a 537-square-meter residential project in Brasília. The design addresses the challenge of housing two family generations within a unified architectural concept. Organized as a single, continuous volume, the structure splits into two wings to grant autonomy and privacy to each household. A central, elevated volume with a thin, horizontal slab contains the kitchen, living room, and dining area, serving as the focal point for daily life and shared rituals. The project team included architects Gabriela Gontijo, Mariana Hummel, and Jade Ávila, with coordination by Humberto Figueiredo. Edgard Cesar provided photography, while civil engineering was handled by ALCAA Engenharia. Suppliers included Quintino, and the project was curated by Susanna Moreira. Team members Natália Mattos, Antônio Carlos, Eduardo Grigol, and Cecília Pizutti contributed to the effort. The house exemplifies a thoughtful approach to multi-generational living through its spatial organization.
