Materiality plays a crucial role, with solid ceramic bricks adorning the upper floor facades. These bricks not only add a touch of modernity but also pay homage to the traditional elements of the neighborhood, seamlessly blending with the local aesthetic.

The choice of materials reflects a deep understanding of the context, incorporating the earthy tones and textures of the surrounding environment.

The lot has a slight slope towards a nearby stream, recently channelized and urbanized with marginal avenues.

The Montes Claros House Gallery:

Text by the Architects: Montes Claros is a city located in the northern region of Minas Gerais, with intense economic activity and service offerings, constituting a regional center. Located on a more or less flat area 700m above sea level, the city is surrounded by a mountain range that rises to an altitude of 1,000m. This geographical condition establishes a horizon contained by hills with soft contours, which in some way refer to the name of the city itself.
