The Casa das 7 Ãrvores, designed by Hersen Mendes Arquitetura, is a striking architectural residence in Brazil's Cerrado region. Serving as a private retreat for an artist, the structure pays homage to its natural surroundings, with a layout that is curvilinear and intuitive, shaped by seven native trees that remain untouched. Instead of uprooting the vegetation, the architects designed around these living trees, enriching the space's interaction with light and air. Blending modernist brutalist influences with sustainable materials, the house is responsibly situated within its stunning biodiverse landscape, showcasing a harmonious balance between design and ecology.
This residence stands as an architectural homage to Brazil's biodiversity, showcasing that high design can harmonize with ecological sensitivity through careful planning and natural respect.
The Casa das 7 Ãrvores highlights the philosophy that native trees guide design, integrating living landmarks into the homeâs layout and structure for environmental integrity.
With its undulating form and organic layout, the house offers a dialogue between modernism and nature, creating spaces that breathe with light and adapt to the land.
Rooted in Brutalism yet softened by sustainable materials, the Casa integrates sturdy elements that echo its surroundings while maintaining a focus on ecological preservation.
