ML Residence

Text description provided by architect.

The ML residence is located in the city of Nova lima , state of Minas Gerais. The plot is in a mountainous site with an average slope of 53 per cent.

We have also created two concrete walls on the north and South elevations, which not only define the volume of the house, but also prevent the waste of material, as we used metalical formworks.

The height of the building was defined according to the street greid to give direct access from the front of the house to the garage, and, at the back , good natural lighting on the ground under the construction , which facilitates the execution of the landscaping, which even though is in a covered area, allows a larger diversity of species.

The house has two floors, being the first on the street level and the second below it.

All the social area opens to this square (in the West) through wooden doors which function as mobile brises and to the mountains view (in the east) through glass walls, thus creating a situation of cross ventilation and abundant natural lighting. All bedrooms do also face Sunrise and the mountain view.
