The Neblina House appears as a direct response to its location, at the foothills, overlooking the city. Configuring itself as an invitation for an inner connection, the house embraces the beauty of mutability, monumentalizing itself between nature and the urban horizon.

At Acaso House, blocks arranged in an almost random fashion form a sculpture garden. The delight of the inhabitants is divided between contemplating the spectacular view of the mountains and contact with the small waterfalls formed on rainy days. Nature and art.

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 Aerada house is in a boiling hot place. Its facades work like ceramic radiators, which on the one hand disperse heat and shade its interior, and on the other allow the breeze and light to enter. Something in between the open and the closed.

At the trail house, it is necessary to walk 400 m into the forest to find it. A winding brick wall integrates the place creating nooks. From baroque to contemporary. Nature and finally art.
