Story

Casa R|L: A Bold Expression of Contemporary Design Located in the vibrant city of Pouso Alegre, Brazil, Casa R|L by Casalli Arquitetura is a striking example of contemporary residential architecture. The design, led by architect Mayra Casalli, transforms an irregular site into a bold residence characterized by sculptural geometry, inclined pillars, and expressive concrete forms. The home embraces asymmetry and cantilevers, creating an architectural identity that stands out in its urban context. Inside, the layout flows seamlessly between living, dining, kitchen, and outdoor spaces, fostering an open atmosphere where structure and materiality shape the experience. Double-height spaces and large openings emphasize the relationship between interior and exterior, while a restrained material palette keeps focus on the architecture.

Design Highlights

Sculptural Geometry: Inclined pillars and cantilevers create a dynamic architectural form. Material Palette: Combines concrete with wood-inspired finishes for warmth. Open Layout: Seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Double-Height Spaces: Enhance openness and natural light. Outdoor Integration: Covered dining and barbecue areas extend social spaces.
