The renovation of this 112m² apartment was a challenge beyond its size: the owner of the residence, located in Rio de Janeiro, is a longtime friend of the architect Guilherme Torres. Denilson Machado, a photographer renowned for his architectural and interior records, wanted his home to have the atmosphere of an art gallery.

Built in a sloped site (30 degrees) in the city of Nova Lima, Brazil, the house uses dramatic cantilevers to emphasize the extremity of its position. We have chosen this concept not only for aesthetic reasons, but above all to reduce the interference of the building mass in the topography, keeping the site as natural as possible.

The Aldeia house was inspired by the lifestyle of the residents, who just hang out in a bunch, with friends and family. Facing the lake, life takes place around the large central yard, as in a hollow.

The Pingo do Mula ranch rescues affective and constructive memories of Serra da Canastra. A very specific context place. Inspired by the best cheese in the world, obviously, but also by ox carts, farm smell and coffee plantations. Only good vibes!
