Triangles House
Triangles House is being built on a site in Nova Lima (MG, Brazil) where there are no native plants: the land is a forest of eucalyptus and casuarina trees with grass and ornamental plants.
The house has three bedrooms and, like our Cerrado House, has a swimming pool on the terrace that serves as a roof for the veranda. The parti of the house is quite simple, a rectangle. However, the purity of the rectangular geometry is broken by two elements: the two staircases leading to the terrace. They function as diagonals that divide the rectangular box, generating triangular and trapezoidal geometries and inviting the user to climb up to the terrace-pool esplanade.
While seeking to explore the plasticity of basic architectural elements, the project exalts the ecology found on the land, accepting the artificial eucalyptus forest as the definitive landscape.
