Tenderness House – GM / Studio NA

Text description of the architects. The Ternura House project was born from the intention of creating a quiet and welcoming refuge surrounded by the greenery of the Passárgada condominium in Belo Horizonte. The main inspiration came from the surroundings: the street where the house is located is called Alameda da Ternura, and this name brought with it the idea of ​​translating into architecture an atmosphere of warmth, simplicity and integration into the landscape. The key concept was a Single-story house characterized by its horizontal floor plan that promotes direct contact with the garden and mountain views. Natural materials such as stone, wood and ceramic tiles were chosen to reinforce the identity of a timeless sanctuary deeply rooted in the place.
