The G-Beach Residence project originates from the dialectical relationship between the existing Hotel Bellevue, designed by Renzo Menegazzo in 1956, and the surrounding pine forest. The hotel building references the Belo Horizonte Library designed by Oscar Niemeyer in 1955, adopting its main architectural features.
The brick lattice façade, the pilotis and reinforced concrete supports sustaining the upper floors, the glazed base designed to emphasize the suspended volume of the bedrooms, and the circular service element intended to give greater plasticity to the overall composition all contribute to the charm of the existing hotel building and established the conceptual foundation that guided the design of the G-Beach residences.
The G-Beach project therefore proposes a relationship of mimicry between the two buildings: the same contemporary materials — concrete and glass — are employed together with contextual materials, such as exposed brick already used as a façade finish in the Hotel Bellevue. From an urban planning perspective, the new building is positioned perpendicular to Hotel Bellevue on the eastern side of the site. Its elongated form, stretching toward the beach, creates a courtyard onto which all the residences and all the hotel bedrooms face toward the sea.
The relationship with the unique setting of the pine forest and the existing building is defined by several combined elements that characterize the new structure. Large glazed openings are designed to merge the interior residential spaces with the maritime landscape of the pine forest. On the top floor, rooftop terraces provide 360-degree views of the seascape, while the perimeter terraces and west-facing loggias, aligned with the living areas on each level, mediate the relationship with the landscape by creating transitional spaces between interior and exterior environments.
Light plays a fundamental role: filtered through the dense pine forest and shaped by the brick lattice screens, it continuously redefines the perception of the interior spaces throughout the day. The underground level accommodates the garages, while the four above-ground floors contain all the residences overlooking the sea and the beach.
