Concise, cohesive and coherent: these are the adjectives that synthesize the essence of Casa Prática. At the end of a dead-end street, surrounded by mountains and a green area, the building, located in Belo Horizonte, has a simplifying dynamic, both in terms of materiality and use.

The design philosophy of this project depends on its name.....flyfall means flying and then falling. At the beginning of entering the project, in order to access more personal relationships and deeper levels of spatial relationships and circulation, one must climb to the central villa and then fell to the villa below.

Low-slung and sprawling on top of the knoll of the hill, capturing 360-degree views of the Noosa hinterland from sunrise to sunset. With understated styling and visually simple detailing the vista can be appreciated and not detracted from. Design cues were taken from houses you would experience in Wanaka New Zealand.
