Terracotta Cobogó House

Residential · Brasília · 2025

The project

Type: RESIDENTIAL
Location: BRASÍLIA
Year: 2025
Area: 350 M²
Materials: CERAMIC COBOGÓ · CONCRETE · TERRAZZO
Status: IN PROGRESS

The brief was a modern façade, with parapet, concrete and straight lines. The complaint was the side of the veranda, the most used corner of the house, too exposed since the neighbour built. Closing it would take away light and air, and glass would not solve it. The cobogó answered everything at once.

Front façade with metal gates and an upper band of terracotta cobogó

Rear façade opening onto the courtyard in a continuous span

Powder room with a terrazzo floor and olive-toned slats

Terracotta cobogó tower seen from the courtyard, with pilotis and drawn shadow

En suite bathroom with beige slats, a stone counter and a glass shower screen

Many see the cobogó as a simple element from another era. Here it meets the parapet and the concrete, and that mix of eras is what makes the house modern: straight lines with a touch of Brazilian character and luxury, and it is the only house in the condominium to put the two together. The same screen continues into the leisure area, and the veranda is private again without ceasing to be open.
