House of Amendoeiras / Play Arquitetura

When we first saw the plot of land located in a condominium near Salvador, the first thing we admired was the presence of several large almond trees scattered throughout the area. Despite the neighbors' advice to cut them down due to the large amount of leaves that fall from them, our premise, along with that of the clients - a couple with one child - was to try to preserve the existing vegetation as much as possible.

The project for this house was developed in two different moments: the initial project made in 2008/2009 and executed afterward (the work was completed in 2011), and the reform project and completion of the interiors carried out between 2020 and 2022. Between one stage and another, the owners moved from Brazil, the two children became grew up and the house was almost sold.

The house, designed in the 1980s by Henrique Cambiaghi, attracted the client for the beautiful design of the concrete structure, the large wooden windows, and the view of the trees at the back of the land.

ChatPay Office / Play Arquitetura

Andreas Luco — Sun, 03 Jan 2021 02:00:00 +0000

Created to host a technology and social media startup called ChatPay, the project preserved and highlighted the two main original features of the space: its concrete structure with ribbed slab and the beautiful view to which the three large windows open. For this, the closed spaces that the program demanded - three meeting rooms, a telephone booth and bathrooms, were located opposite to the large windows. The main meeting room (A) approaches the view and enjoys it, without, however, segmenting or dividing the existing window. The air conditioning, lighting and fire facilities were organized and distributed to be apparent in the open areas.

The “Loft Branco” (White Loft) is situated in the neighborhood of Morro do Chapéu on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte city. Planned in 2016 this loft has been built as an outbuilding beside the existent house (Casa Viga) as a result of the owner's desire to renovate the existing housekeeper house and turn it into his office and possibly a guest room.

Casa Viga / Play Arquitectura

Daniel Tapia — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 16:00:00 +0000

Situated in the neighborhood of Morro do Chapéu on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte city, the project of Casa Viga started in a peculiar way, since there was already part of a concrete structure (foundation, floor slabs, and pillars) executed on the site. The clients no longer wanted to continue with the original project of that previous structure, although they wish to preserve it in order to minimize construction costs. Considering this, a new project was developed in association with the preexisting structure.
