The Property is designed under the concept of the combination of industrial elements that contrast with the apparent luxury, three elements that generate energy through waterfalls that create an energy cycle capable of sustaining the house as a functional machine that, as a visual purpose, creates the appearance of being suspended on the hill

A private outdoor space was also intended. However, instead of the common backyard, the
approach was to provide a middleyard, in order to achieve some privacy in the outdoor space. The house was designed in a “C” shape, turning its back to the surroundings and facing an interior patio that opens only in an unobstructed area.

As such, the project idea is not to land a volume that becomes a dwelling, but to design a volume that conveys the idea that it was carved in the “site” (thus creating the feeling of union with the place) at the same time as it provokes the se...

The IC Residence is located in the city of Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais. The land, measuring 5,000 m², is a relatively gentle slope, where the street-facing facade faces east. Solar orientation was a determining factor for the implantation of the house, located in a very hot region, where sun protection is essential.
