By A Legacy Reimagined
Nestled in São Roque, Brazil, the AM House stands as a testament to familial bonds and cherished memories. Designed by Scali Wood+Arch Arquitetura Sustentável, this architectural marvel was born out of a desire to rejuvenate a family property steeped in emotional history. With an area spanning 1100 m², the AM House honors tradition while embracing contemporary living.
Client’s Vision: Tradition with a Modern Twist
Commissioned by a family seeking to revitalize their ancestral home, the AM House project was driven by a clear vision: to preserve the farmhouse aesthetic while infusing it with modern elements. The clients, motivated by a desire to create a welcoming retreat for their aging patriarch’s 90th birthday, entrusted the architects with the task of seamlessly blending tradition and innovation.
A Harmonious Blend of Old and New
Despite its traditional roots, the AM House underwent a complete transformation, with the original structure making way for a new, modern abode. Spread across 1100 m², the single-story residence comprises 11 suites, strategically divided into two wings to ensure privacy for both family members and guests.
Magnificent Living Spaces
Central to the design of the AM House is its expansive living area, designed to serve as the heart of the home. Here, generations can gather and create new memories, surrounded by the warmth and coziness reminiscent of a country retreat. The integration of contemporary elements enhances the overall aesthetic appeal while preserving the inviting atmosphere of a traditional farmhouse.
Uniting Tradition and Sustainability
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the AM House embodies a commitment to sustainability. By incorporating eco-friendly materials and design principles, Scali Wood+Arch Arquitetura Sustentável ensures that the home leaves a minimal environmental footprint, aligning with modern ideals of responsible living.
A Symbol of Family Unity and Renewal
The completion of the AM House marks not only a physical transformation but also a symbolic one – a testament to the enduring bonds of family and the timeless beauty of cherished traditions. As the AM House stands tall in São Roque, it serves as a reminder of the power of architecture to unite the past, present, and future in a harmonious celebration of life and legacy.
