How could someone live near an immense and majestic mountain and not pay homage to it, or never mind its size and shape?

Headquarters Carmo Coffees / Gustavo Penna Arquiteto e Associados

Arriving here in the mid-18th century, coffee became the main product of the Brazilian economy. The search for the ideal growing region extended throughout the country and made Minas Gerais the main producing region. In this trend, Carmo Coffees has worked with the premise that quality comes from our respect and care for the entire production chain. The most important tool to achieve this is the right placement to mark the product’s presence and make it become a symbol.

Sustentable House / GPA&A

Andreas Luco — Sat, 30 Nov 2019 05:00:00 +0000

Our SUSTAINABLE HOUSE is made of matter and spirit. Raw material, the unused by-products of mining activity, is the main component: we take advantage of its qualities and properties. Finding an ecologically appropriate use for these wastes determines the unique character of the housing unit.

The rectangle 1,000m² site demanded a solution in an elongated form, uniting the front and the back with green-tinged spaces. With a view to the mountainous landscape of Minas Gerais, the tectonic characteristics of this residence give it its unique value. Leading to the front door and beyond is a sculptural concrete wall.

Japanese Immigration Memorial / Gustavo Penna Arquiteto e Associados

Andreas Luco — Thu, 09 May 2019 12:00:00 +0000

The open-air museum celebrates the friendship between Japan and the state of Minas Gerais and what this relationship was able to construct concrete and immaterial. The design is a bridge over a lake. The bridge metaphorically connects territories, times, ideas and ideals. The lake is like the sea between the nations, and also the one of the challenges, of the conquests, of the lived times. Actions and works become visible through striking dates that emerge in the water, and the submerged spaces represent the regions of the unconscious of feeling and memory.

To the extensive and varied repertoire of accumulated works, spanning over more than four decades, the Gustavo Penna office added in the first end of 2015 the second school by the Zerrenner foundation, a nonprofit, co-manager of Ambev in Brazil.

Ateliê Wäls / Gustavo Penna Arquiteto e Associados

Daniel Tapia — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 14:00:00 +0000

An immense wooden barrel open over the green mountains of Belo Horizonte: this is the scenario designed by GPA&A office of the architect Gustavo Penna to host the Ateliê Wäls, a large brewery center surrounded by nature, in the Olhos d'Agua neighborhood, south of the capital of Minas Gerais. Opened in early June, the complex includes a restaurant, shop, office, wine cellar, beer factory and outdoor area for food trucks. The proposal is to create a center of innovation in the sector, as well as promoting the meeting between friends and offering the experimentation of special craft beers. "It's a playful and fun project that shows the union of architecture and beer in a magical way," says Gustavo.

Congonhas Museum / Gustavo Penna Arquiteto e Associados

Victor Delaqua — Wed, 27 Jan 2016 13:00:00 +0000

The museum is located on the natural slope of the sanctuary’s ground, and, even though it represents a contrast because of its contemporary lines, that does not take away the protagonism from the whole secular setting. On the opposite, it was thought in a way as to ‘dialogue’ with the grounds where it has been built, as a meeting of past and present, one that guarantees the preservation of history for the future.

Serra Dourada Club - Alphaville / Gustavo Penna

Igor Fracalossi — Sat, 08 Aug 2015 09:00:00 +0000

The proposed intervention in Alphaville Country Farm sets a respectful relationship with many original features of the property and gives a unique character to the place. It seeks to insert the new buildings, minimizing interventions in topography and preserving as much existing vegetation. The club is located on the existing plateau, which was formerly the barn. Maintaining the existing lines of trees, we create through this landscape a natural barrier against heat from the east and west. Sports courts and the soccer field are at the same elevation as the place of deployment of the flag of the club and are part of the topography through gentle slopes and small landfills.

The Free Press Monument is a gesture in glass.
