Where is the place of crossing? This question gave rise to Travessia House, located in Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Set on a steeply sloping site surrounded by dense vegetation, the residence explores the idea of architecture as a journey, where movement, origin, and discovery become part of the experience of inhabiting.

The project unfolds as a continuous, curved volume that extends over the treetops, establishing a connection between the forest and the valley. Like an unfurling fern, its geometry gradually expands into a circular space organized around a tree, conceived as a symbol of origin and prosperity.

Along this path, the architecture transitions between enclosed and open spaces, revealing different perspectives of the landscape through a sequence of passages, water features, and framed views. The interplay of exposed concrete, warm-toned surfaces, and large glazed openings reinforces the contrast between the building's fluid geometry and the solidity of its materials.
