Cobogos House
Cobogos House is a private residence built in reinforced concrete and masonry. The facade is composed of straight lines and volumes at different heights. The main feature is a set of decorative concrete blocks, called Cobogos, which allow the wind to pass freely through their open spaces. Aluminum slats with a wood pattern add a warm look and need little maintenance. A large asymmetrical concrete canopy covers the main entrance. At the rear, a swimming pool on three levels is surrounded by tropical planting and a century-old olive tree.
Cobogos House Residential Project by Cibelle Costa Barbosa has been featured as an innovative example of architectural design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Cobogos House Residential Project earned the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2021. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design prize which rewards exceptional design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
