The site geometry
suggests the placement /
Appreciating the
empty, internal space, lawn that /
In an angle and
arch design the green emptiness. /
At the higher level
is the house. /
The metal
cantilever looks for lagoon views /
Its undulations
talk to Pampulha. /
The built volume
mixes structures: /
Steel, concrete, wood
complement each other /
Defining supports, closures
and roofs. /
The internal
integration of the coexistence space /
Connects to the
exterior bringing inward /
The idea and the
distance of the Belo Horizonte’s edge.
