Text description provided by the architects. A
place immersed in lush Atlantic Rainforest
nature. A terrain filled with large leafy trees,
foliage, shrubs, birds and wild animals. A
challenging topography with a steep slope,
characteristic of the Nova Lima region in Minas
Gerais. This is the place where Casa Açucena is
inserted.

The project is a response to a sensitive reading
of the place. In a first contact with this terrain, it
is already evident the need to maintain the
natural characteristics. The act of looking
upwards, from the ground to the canopy of
trees, elevated up to fi#een meters above
ground level, was decisive for the creation of

the concept. How to build in a place with such a
steep topography, while maintaining the
original nature? How to give the residents the
daily experience of looking up and seeing the
sky through the treetops. These were the
questions that guided all design decisions.

The initial understanding that architecture
should mold to the terrain, and not the other
way around, was the starting point. The house
rises above the ground and the animal and
plant life develops underneath. The program
shapes itself by occupying the empty spaces
between the trees. No trees are removed. The
topography is not changed. Art and Nature in
perfect harmony. From this point on, no choice
or design decision was made by taste or will of
the architect. Everything is a response and is
intended to reinforce a concept.

The house, in its white color, is a surprise to
those who arrive. Its randomly placed black
pillars blend in with the trunks. The house
seems to float. Its fluid plan, a result of the
program's occupation among the trees, and its
openings and folds in the slab, to reach the
view of the treetops, generate the volumetry.
The architecture is harmoniously inserted next
to the natural vegetation, but maintains its
presence. Surprise and novelty are values
inherent to art. Casa Açucena presents itself as
a white flower in the midst of nature.
