The House in the Trees seeks the light; above the branches it breathes (in the sky). As it practically doesn't touch the ground, it preserves the local animal and plant life.

The transformation this property has undergone is certainly impressive. The ground floor apartment already had a super spacious private area, but it was barren and neglected. The interior was quite dark, with closed, small and poorly ventilated rooms. In the renovation, the rooms were integrated and their layout changed completely. As the apartment...

The IC Residence is located in the city of Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais. The land, measuring 5,000 m², is a relatively gentle slope, where the street-facing facade faces east. Solar orientation was a determining factor for the implantation of the house, located in a very hot region, where sun protection is essential.

We believe that in the relationship between being and place, it is the sensations that provide harmony. Contact with the nature of the elements transforms a being, making him identify with his environment and connect with his roots. A space composed of elements in their purest forms inspires a body to seek its essences.

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.
