Excerpt: Windermere House by OSPA Arquitetura & Urbanismo is a harmonious blend of privacy and openness, designed to embrace its canal-side setting. The residence, featuring a floating upper volume, ensures seclusion, while the open ground floor in wood and stone fosters connection with the landscape. This interplay of solidity and transparency creates a fluid, inviting spatial experience that enhances the family’s daily life.
Project Description


[Text as submitted by architect] Located at the confluence of two canals, the Windermere House is configured to maximize the potential of the site.




The family’s private area is located on the second floor, allowing the ground floor to become an open and deeply integrated space with the landscape.



Composed of a floating upper volume over a loose ground floor in wood and stone, the house provides privacy and integration, and generates a spatiality that values the family’s daily life.
