Located in Florianopolis in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil. The house of Owls was built on a flat land between the Lagoa da Conceicao and the beach of Mocambique in Sao Joao do Rio Vermelho neighborhood. The beach dunes are the natural habitat of the burrowing owl, for this reason the house got its name, because it is frequently visited by them.The house has a built area of ??94 m2 and is designed to be the beach house of a young couple of architects.
Like many of the architectural projects, the budget was a major limiting factor for the amount available for the construction was R$ 60,000.00. Thus, a minimum needs program was adopted: living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and laundry area. The double high ceilings in the living room integrates environments and provides greater spatial extent, in addition to receiving the shelf that accommodates the owners` record collection and library.
