TAU Arquitetos: In the heart of the rural area of Southern Minas Gerais, on a plot embraced by a winding river, two pavilions emerge that seek to transcend the traditional concept of a house. It's not merely a space to inhabit internally, but rather to be lived symbiotically with the surrounding nature, from outside to inside.
