Bosque da Ribeira Residence
Nova Lima, Brazil
Bosque da Ribeira Residence is situated in a residential neighborhood in Nova Lima, a city
near Belo Horizonte – Brazil – with built area of 650 square meters. The residence is at the
limit of an allotment, adjacent to an environmental reserve. Thus the residence seeks to
create a visual interface and harmonious deployment with the environment, taking full
advantage of covered of the forest and featuring a staggered volumetry, decreasing the
higher volumes observed in the street. The landscaping designed for the residence
complements the relationship with the forest. The leisure area, swimming pool and terrace
are focused on the landscape, with privacy preserved by the slope, and, as well as the social
area, are covered. To protect it from sunstroke north, coincident with sight, we created a
balcony with two levels of coverage, to light up the room without direct solar irradiation, and
zenithal illumination protected by wooden pergolado in the lounge. The house is organized as
follows: sauna and rest at street level (basement), social area on the ground floor, 4 meters
higher than the street, and private areas on the second floor.
