Dr Lund Residential Building in Lagoa Santa, Brazil by Tetro Arquitetura + Humberto Hermeto Arquitetura

The Dr Lund Residential Building is located in Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais, 40 km from Belo Horizonte. It is located on the corner between an avenue that is passage on the route between Belo Horizonte and the Serra do Cipó and a street that has only local traffic and is where you have your main access.

The building, constructed in concrete and masonry, was conceived as a horizontal object implanted longitudinally to the ground. It has seven floors and 95 meters in length. This strategy in the implantation and the horizontality of its form make its presence striking in the landscape.

The parking spaces are divided between the underground floor and the first floor. On the first floor are also the reception, the ballroom and a gym. In the four upper floors are located the 30 typical housing units that have 3 bedrooms, kitchen and service area. On the last floor are located the 10 units of coverage, which has the plant very similar to the typical apartments but benefits from the roof deck, where there is a new room and an outside space overlooking the city lagoon. The volumetric variation in the facade is achieved by the mirroring of the floors of the apartments and the change in the position of the balconies of the rooms, what time are next to the layout of the living and the time are next to the layout of the dining room.

A great feature of the building is the extensive horizontal corridors through walkways giving access to the apartments. These walkways also vary in shape, which allows for different visions between pavements and enhances zenithal light input from the v-shaped element located on the rooftop to the underground floor.
