Located on the edge of a reservoir in Minas Gerais, the house is designed to fully engage with its landscape. Discreet, horizontal lines follow the natural contours of the site, allowing the architecture to dissolve into the water, sky, and vegetation. Upon arrival, a generous timber roof organizes the approach, guiding visitors toward both the interior spaces and the reservoir, while framing long views across the horizon.
From a central circulation axis, two pavilions extend laterally: the social areas to the left and the private suites to the right. The façades are defined by pivoting wooden panels that function as adjustable brise-soleils, responding to environmental conditions and the occupants’ needs while maintaining uninterrupted views of the reservoir.
The building rests lightly on the terrain, supported by a hybrid structure of concrete, steel, and timber. This system enables large spans and a flexible layout, combining spatial generosity with structural lightness.
Timber is employed as both structure and finish, reinforcing continuity between architecture and interior spaces. A restrained material palette allows the surrounding vegetation and landscape to remain the primary visual elements throughout the house.
