Interesting application

From the street, a concrete wall pigmented with pale pinks, blues, greens, and yellows hints at the palette inside the home artist Luiza Gottschalk and her husband, architect Tito Ficarelli, designed. “The colors of that wall are replicated all over the house,” says Tito, cofounder of Arkitito. “It’s basically a palette of colors picked up from nature.” A connection to nature was central to the design of the home, where the couple live with their daughters and their septuagenarian family friend, Mrs. Zelita. The trapezoidal house, known as the Toca House, takes its name from the Portuguese word for “burrow.” Not unlike the crawl spaces animals build for themselves, the home features strategically placed openings that let in natural light and frame the landscape. What’s most impressive about the home is its puzzle-like layout. A metal spiral staircase pierces through each level of the structure, from the gallery on the main floor to Luiza’s lofted art studio that tucks below the roof’s pitch. Tito’s small music studio—where he records with his rock band—sits just below Luiza’s art space. For Tito, the home is supposed to be a mix, both of styles and of purposes. “Inside and out, you see the house clearly in all its layers, its slices,” he says.
