"The design of Casa da Vila do Acude is based on the simplicity and warmth of Minas Gerais homes, aiming for a cozy home with generous living spaces and capitalizing on the strong presence of nature as a compositional element. The house is organized in simple formal gestures, based on two rectilinear volumes that intersect and slightly overlap, connected by an internal staircase."
"Andre Miguel Coronha, Maria Toscano Text description provided by the architects. With a steep slope and significant presence of native vegetation in the initial portion of the lot, the project is implemented in the rear portion of the lot, on the flattest part of the topography, where it takes advantage of the view of the charming village of Conceicao de Ibitipoca."
The house draws on the simplicity and warmth of Minas Gerais homes to form a cozy residence with generous living spaces. Two rectilinear volumes intersect and slightly overlap, organizing the plan around simple formal gestures and an internal staircase that links levels. The project responds to a steep, vegetated site by locating the building on the rear, flatter portion of the lot. Native vegetation is preserved in the initial portion of the site, and the placement maximizes views toward the village of Conceição de Ibitipoca. Nature functions as a primary compositional element, integrating interior spaces with the surrounding landscape.
