TA Residence, located in Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, responds to characteristics inherent to the land where it is located, its topography, sunlight and relationship with the immediate surroundings.

With slopes in the horizontal (30% slope) and transversal (20%) directions, the project seeks to make the best use of the land, staggering towards the slope to avoid wasted space and create a better relationship with the surroundings, generating a more discreet volume and horizontal. In this way, we seek to reduce earth movement and the construction of retaining walls on the perimeter of the land as much as possible. This approach results in a discreet, horizontal volumetrics that naturally blends into the surroundings.

The main openings of the house are strategically oriented towards the mountains in the southeast and the lower neighboring buildings on the left (east), ensuring privileged views and privacy. On the northwest-facing street facade, copper brises on the frames and thoughtful landscaping contribute to both thermal comfort and visual appeal of the indoor environment.

The residence spans across three floors connected by stairs and an elevator. The basement houses the garage and service areas, while the ground floor focuses on the social area of the house. Bedrooms are located on the second floor, providing privacy for the residents.

TA Residence not only addresses the specificities of the local terrain and climate but also incorporates solutions that foster a positive relationship with the immediate surroundings.
