The journey through the 42 m2 space begins in a hall covered in prints that evoke a dense forest and create a setting that slows down movement and gradually reduces external stimuli. Then, a surprise: the room opens up like a wide clearing. "The sudden change in proportions surprises the body before cognitive understanding. In this way, we invite visitors to abandon immediate responses to explore new mental territories," says architect Vanessa Martins Miranda. To achieve this, elements such as the sculptural fireplace, which emulates ancestral bonfires, a green rug like grass and the golden armchair, which represents the Sun, emerge. The angle of the sloped ceiling captures natural light throughout the day. Finally, the installation Ondulante by Amalia Giacomini suggests, with its metallic chains, the fluidity between structure and freedom.
