The main line of Casa Acqua , a project by Cristina Menezes for CASACOR Minas Gerais 2021 , is unusual to say the least: the architect created a creative reinterpretation of the Roman houses of Antiquity and transported them to current times in the format of independent modules of the type containers , in a geometric configuration joined by a central pergola.
The space comprises a kitchen, living room, office, bathroom and bedroom in the same area surrounded by a reflecting pool . The internal layout is flexible and the impression is that the set floats on the water, as if it were an island.
