South Carolina Casa Grelha by FGMF

Only 6500 square meters of 24000 square meters area aren’t

covered by native intact forest which is permanently protected.

The topography of the area consist of large natural stones

and trees and the house is located in small valley which protects

in from winds. Three aims was choose durning the design

and construction: the demand for single-story house,

the desire to connect the house to surrounding nature,

and need to provide privacy to members of the family.

High humidity of the site put the house above the ground.

The house frame is a structural grid in wood which consist

of 5.5×5.5x3m modules. Some of these modules are empty

allowing the trees to cross the structure. The house consist

of the owner’s apartment, social area, washing area, guest room,

and three isolate modules, with to bedrooms each, for the children.

On the top of the highest hill lies the leisure pavilion which has

the most generous views. There are also 3 another service

pavilions with garage, housekeeper’s house and accommodations

for the maids.
