The altitude is 1200m.

​

The city is Nova Lima, State of Minas Gerais – Brazil.

​

On clear days we can see the sea of mountains undulating up to 60km in the landscape.

​

The house is a tribute to this beautiful nature.

​

A square with a glass cube in the center, which plays with light, air, clouds and the distance.

​

The living spaces are articulated as in colonial houses, spacious, cozy.

​

Any point in the house participates in the movement of the whole.

​

We feel accompanied: there is no place for solitude.

​

The courses are full of surprises; the distant nature, the inner garden very close to the eye; the widths and heights vary along with the luminosity, the passages, the framing, the perspectives.

​

The arrival across the bridge over the water mirror proposes a ritual, a kind of purification of what we feel, what we see, what we are.

​

And the house welcomes us generously.
