It is part of people's history to associate freedom with living in the shade of a tree; use that space, its smells, its colors.

​

In Iporanga, the Atlantic Forest suggests this.

​

We chose this metaphor to make it our home, the place to receive family and friends.

​

The geometric tree, large cover, covers the entire space of the house.

​

From inside and outside we can always see the entire ceiling, like a plant canopy.

​

On the ground floor, everything is integrated into the Atlantic Forest. The sense of porosity remains.

​

It is necessary to see the shades of green, the trail of the agouti and hear the song of the bird.

​

The house bypassed all the difficulties of the legislation to have fun with the environment around.

​

The windows are muxarabis, which protect the interior of the rooms.  

​

The integrated kitchen, balcony and dining room make functions uncomplicated.

​

The service flow happens behind the scenes, discreetly, without conflicts.

​

To welcome people who arrive, we placed a sculpture, a soapstone vase filled with water. It is the hospitality of Minas that washes the soul.

​

We were adding these virtues to make this house add the heart of Minas to the sea.
