How can a house exist between a tree and the moon? This question gave rise to Cosmos House, located in Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Set on a steeply sloping site, the residence emerges as a sculptural object on the mountainside, an observatory overlooking the vastness of the landscape and the sky.

Inspired by astronomy and the surrealist work of painter Fernando Vignoli, the project explores architecture as an experience of perception and discovery. As in the artist's paintings, doors, corridors, and passages transcend their functional roles to create a spatial narrative in which each movement reveals a new perspective.

Large vertical planes, voids, and carefully positioned openings frame successive views of the landscape, while light, shadow, and mist continuously transform the perception of space. Through the interplay of concrete, earthy tones, and the expansive horizon, the house seeks to dissolve the boundaries between built space and infinity, proposing a way of inhabiting in which architecture becomes an instrument for contemplating the cosmos.
