CASA BRAGA

The house is cheerful, full of light and green.

The 1,000m² site nos indicated an elongated solution that unites front and back in spaces bordered by green. Support and service environments are positioned behind the scenes.
Thus, all operations take place without touching the social area. 

This boundary between times and functions is a large, high, continuous slab, with various plans and surprises, which crosses the entire volume longitudinally.

The coverage follows this dynamic, bringing to mind the game of roofs of Minas Gerais houses.
The plan is flexible, internal arrangements can always be changed.
There is also a sense of cohesion, everything in the house, people and activities coexist and interact. 

There is no place for solitude.

The atmosphere in the whole and in every part reminds us that the spirit needs more space than the body.
