TA Residence, a Hillside Haven by Anastasia Arquitetos

Architecture Design of TA Residence

Description About The Project

TA Residence designed by Anastasia Arquitetos, nestled in the rugged terrain of Nova Lima, Minas Gerais, exemplifies a harmonious blend of architecture and nature. The design intelligently maximizes land use on a challenging site with 30% horizontal and 20% transversal slopes, creating a series of stepped levels that reduce the need for extensive earth movement and retaining walls. This thoughtful approach results in a discreet, horizontally oriented structure that melds seamlessly into its surroundings.

The main openings of the house are strategically positioned to capture stunning views of the southeast mountains and the lower neighboring buildings to the east, ensuring both breathtaking vistas and enhanced privacy. On the northwest-facing street facade, the use of copper brises and meticulous landscaping enhances thermal comfort while contributing to the visual appeal of the indoor spaces.

Spanning three floors, the residence’s layout is connected by both stairs and an elevator for convenience. The basement is dedicated to the garage and service areas, while the ground floor encompasses the home’s social spaces, designed for communal living and entertainment. The second floor houses the private bedrooms, providing a sanctuary for the residents.

Residence TA not only respects the unique topography and climate of its location but also incorporates sustainable solutions that foster a positive relationship with its immediate environment.
