architecture-design · 2026-07-10

Felipe Caboclo Arquitetura has completed Casa Alva, a 1023 m² residential project on the banks of the Represa de Marimbondo in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Completed in 2024, the house was designed with a careful reading of the natural terrain, making the landscape the primary guiding element of the architecture. Stretching along a 75-meter frontage, the residence organizes its spaces to prioritize views of the water, establishing a constant relationship between interior and exterior. The project team includes Isabella Iotti, Gustavo Perdigão, Bianca Monti (coordination), and Oswaldo Passano (technical team), with engineering and consulting by JR Enesto Arquitetura. Photographs were taken by Fernando Guerra | FG+SG. The project was curated by Susanna Moreira.
