Casa Borges is located in the Retiro das Pedras Condominium, in the municipality of Brumadinho - Minas Gerais, next to Serra da Moeda.

​

15km away from Belo Horizonte, at an altitude of 1,300m, the place is privileged for its natural characteristics: mild climate, beautiful landscapes and the tranquility of a place away from large urban centers.

​

There lives a young family; the couple Tatiana and Afonso and their daughters Isabela, Mariana and Manuela.

​

With an area of 400m2, the house is protected from the street and opens onto the valley. 

The white wall in the morning sun plays with textures and angled shadows.

​

It is a game of closed and open, compact and aerial.
