Tetro architects have created an idiosyncratic treetop house in the forests of Nova Lima, a modern retreat raised up high above the forest floor
Threading its way through a lush rainforest site, the treetop house Casa Açucena is a spectacular example of architecture integrated with nature. The new house was designed by Belo-Horizonte-based practice Tetro, established by the architects Carlos Maia, Débora Mendes, and Igor Macedo. Set on a steeply sloping site in the Nova Lima region in the Southeastern Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, Casa Açucena is woven into the forest.
A study ‘bridge’ leads across to two bedrooms, including the principal suite, while an additional bedroom and study room are located on the lowest level, accessed via an orange steel spiral staircase. The main deck also incorporates a lozenge-shaped pool, raised high above the treetops and affording a look back on the snaking main body of the house. The house is painted white, atop black columns, creating an illusion of a floating structure weaving through the canopy.
