Loft RLO by ME Arquitetura

Loft RLO was designed as a pavilion aiming to convey life directly connected with outdoor relaxation. A single-story dwelling with spacious proportions, one bedroom, a bathroom and two half-baths that value existence and communication by blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces.

The project explores the relationship between filled and empty spaces, from the entrance path to the glass doors that fully open and disappear into the wall. This creates one large space from the dining room, kitchen, terrace, and pool.

The use of natural materials such as freijo wood and travertine marble underlines the connection with the garden and lake. A limited palette of materials also allows one to feel the strength of geometric forms. An open kitchen with an ebony wood floor gives the project a modest touch. The furniture was entirely custom-made and designed by us.

The layout for this project, created for one young man who loves hosting parties and entertaining guests, aimed to integrate spaces and provide an open area for socializing. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors with black frames fully open into panels behind the kitchen, creating one unified space. Additionally, the ceiling features large spans with columns built into the walls. The wardrobe is located in the same room as the spacious bathroom with a shower leading to greenery.

Design always seeks to bring nature in and create a strong connection with the environment. The dwelling has a rectangular form facing the lake, offering stunning views from all points. Furniture was entirely selected by us and reflects the color and material palette applied in architecture. Ultimately, it is the choice of materials that forms the foundation of the home.
