Article source: Aresto Arquitetura Once we got to know the land that is in the city of Brasilia, we were impressed by the natural wealth of the region. The place has so much native forest, that it seems that the houses of the region are intertwined with the forest. Our goal was to make a project inspired by the characteristics of the forest with the interlacing of the house with nature.  Image Courtesy © Aresto Arquitetura

Inner gardens were created to give the effect that the house was built in the middle of the trees. The climate of Brasilia is very characteristic, the sun is very strong and the air is dry.

We also adopted large eaves and walls with cobogos made with common blocks of concrete. To bring more humidity to the interior, we created at the entrance of the house, a large mirror of water. The house plan is quite simple and functional, and was designed so that there was great integration between the interior and exterior.
