FJ House | mario rodrigues

This residence is part of a larger development of 28 semi-detached houses by the same developer.

With all units already built, the ensemble conveys a strong sense of coherence—something the

client was eager to preserve.

Conceived for a couple with two children, the house extends across two plots. While its street-

facing façade maintains the unified rhythm of the development, the dwelling opens more freely

towards the interior, creating a spatial dynamic that distinguishes it within the whole.

Originally envisioned as an interior design commission, the project quickly evolved into a

comprehensive architectural proposal, guided by the intention of respecting the uniform character

of the exterior.

The program unfolds across two levels. On the ground floor, the social and leisure spaces are

arranged to ensure both openness and privacy: a four-car garage, office, gym, living room, and

kitchen are complemented by a second lounge directly connected to the pool terrace.

The upper floor is dedicated to the private realm, with a master suite—including walk-in closet and

bathroom—two children’s bedrooms, and a guest room overlooking the double-height living

space.
