Minimalistic House in Iporanga by Arthur Casas

25 Comments »

This house is called simply “House in Iporanga” and it was made by Arthur Casas, and is a beautiful example of minimalistic design. “I always wanted a house in the middle of the forest, in a place where I could relax and recharge my energy”, says Arthur. In the form of two large symmetrical cubes embracing an open space, this house was idealised as his dream house. Arthur’s aim was interiors in total synergy with exteriors. Bringing the outside in are 11 meter floor to ceiling glass windows, on both ends of the open central space. Cumaru wood paneling runs from top to bottom in an attempt to match and blend in with is beautiful surroundings. – Via

    it’s not minimalist, it’s just boring. Does anyone live here? I’d hate that life… Don’t get dirt on the floor!

    one of the main things i wouldn’t like about living in this house is that it’s such an easy target for armed robbery/breaking and entering. nobody would hear or see you…

    I am in love with the outdoor area. If I had a deck like that, I would just camp outside.

    I’ve seen a house like this, with the sliding
    window-wall and open-spacious feel and generous use
    of interior wood, in Los Altos, California, USA.

    Same designer?

    Sterile, boring, unimaginative, inhuman, vapid,
    mediocre and totally unacceptable as a living space.
    A wonderful example of tastelessness coupled with
    lots of money. wowee zowee. In another age, this ‘designer’
    would be winnowing wheat. ugh!

    Beautiful light and big windows. But otherwise very cold and unwelcoming.

    That is the house, I would like to live in… That’s living in the
    house, but in meantime in the nature.

    Wonderful. I love it

    Such a lovely place to live.
    I’d totally move in there.. Until I had children
    that is. Doesn’t seem children friendly.

    Gorgeous use of space and light, in total harmony with the vegetation outside. Okay, I’m ready to move in now.
