01/58 - Nídia Duarte - Chef's Studio. The space includes a vegetable garden, gazebo and a lounge, accessed via a Hitam stone ramp. The furniture was distributed intuitively and organically, featuring fabrics such as linen and earthy tones. Among the standout pieces are the Painho armchairs by Marcelo Rosenbaum, nautical rope poufs and the gray-toned rug by Elisa Atheniense. The gazebo was structured with intentionally irregular natural wood slats. (Jomar Bragança)
02/58 - Bárbara Nobre and Norah Fernandes - Cabinet. From Minas Gerais baroque to period design, the space combines a fine mix of artistic elements. The composition of the living room highlights the green of the Knoll sofa and the curious arrangement of the Vitra armchairs, which follow the Turkish tradition. The Peroba wood panel in the background is by Porfírio Valadares. (Jomar Bragança)
03/58 - Silvia Carvalho - Casa dos Vinhos. The presence of natural elements is intense. In a sauvignon tone, the cladding of the external and internal walls establishes a strong dialogue with the natural wood of the ceiling and the stone floor. Not to mention the comfortable textures of the generous sofa and armchairs. The highlight is the automated wine cellar protected by the glass cube, with the capacity to store 400 bottles. An app helps in choosing the label at the time of tasting. (Jomar Bragança)
04/58 - Flávia Roscoe - Governor's Suite. The ambiance encourages rest and introspection. Sober tones are predominant, giving pride of place to the light gold on the walls and furniture. In the living room, the classic Bergère changes its appearance with a reinterpretation by Sérgio Rodrigues, in contrast to the bedroom, where the priority focuses on the comfort of natural elements such as the wooden screen and the straw panel, designed by the architect. (Jomar Bragança)
05/58 - Flávia Freitas - Restaurant Balcony. With charming details, the gazebo has a cement slab on the entrance platform in a natural tone, which also appears on the cobogó that is over 3 meters high. The furniture was arranged on an Indian rug, with off-white upholstery on the sofas and armchairs. A sculpture by Amílcar de Castro is enhanced by a reflecting pool with an eco-graffiti finish. (Jomar Bragança)
06/58 - Carolina Campos and Maria Clara - Chef's Office. An ideal office for small meetings, its striking elements convey the personality of the person in charge. With a palette of green, violet, wood tones and black, the space is original and unique, characteristics reinforced by the coat racks hanging from the ceiling. (Jomar Bragança)
07/58 - Rodrigo Castro and Rodrigo Maakaroun - Guest Suite. The characteristic of Minas Gerais hospitality was valued and updated. Several pieces of furniture are hybrid and easy to carry, like the bed designed by the architects, in off-white leather and dark wood. In it, the linen and silk sheets by Arthur Matos contrast with the Versace cushion. The cabinet serves as a rack and support, adding an attached mirror and a small table. The lamp celebrates raw materials typical of the region, such as iron and soapstone. (Jomar Bragança)
08/58 - Juliana Couri, Maria Gabriela Nogueira and Natacha Nacif - Mirim Suite. The child warrior's resting place is also a space for adventure. From the suspended bed, the descent can be done by rappelling. To climb, access can be made using the climbing wall or the sailor's ladder. The main bed also has an original design, with platforms that allow for various games. Tire swings are another fun idea, in a space for reading or playing video games. (Jomar Bragança)
09/58 - Felipe Soares - Leroy Merlin Kitchen. The elements of traditional Minas Gerais cuisine are all there: the wood stove, the open cabinets, the rustic brick, the fruits and vegetables on display. The clean layout is what sets it apart, with a T-shaped central island, which houses the wood stove, the bowl and the table, with epoxy coated in red resin. The works of art subtly reference the state, as in the works of Mabe Bethônico and Flávia Bertinato. (Jomar Bragança)
10/58 - Carol Horta and Júlia Belisário - Fireplace Room. Proving that sophistication can also be cozy, the space features the Pétala table by Jorge Zalzupin, as well as its Onda bench, to highlight its taste for Brazilian design. In addition, the small wooden armchair is designed by Zanine Caldas, and in synergy with the Tonico armchair by Sérgio Rodrigues. In the background, the Alta armchair, the pouf and the side table are by Niemeyer, in a language common to all the furniture. (Jomar Bragança)
11/58 - Angelo Coelho and Cristina Morethson - Mirante Becker. Almost like an observatory of Serra do Curral and Palácio das Mangabeiras, the viewpoint was built with four environments that complement each other: the lounge, the terrace, the bar and a bistro area. Natural materials such as stone and wood structure the furniture, as well as the cover, made of laminated wood and reflective habitat glass, which reduce heat and reduce noise. (Jomar Bragança)
12/58 - Fernanda Villefort - Office Pavilion. A fresh look at corporate spaces, which presents integration as the central line of the project. The central area is home to the social space, a large counter offering coffee or sparkling wine, as well as spaces for meetings and lectures. Furthermore, the gallery walkway, on the pavilion's only blank wall, is intended to enhance visitors' creativity. (Jomar Bragança)
13/58 - José Lourenço - Minas Workpod. The space was designed as the governor's mobile office, which can be set up anywhere. The organic shape reinforces the connection with nature that surrounds it. Light filters through the marble louvers in the large window, drawing on the wood-effect vinyl flooring. Cozy on the inside and industrial on the outside - and the intention is for the steel container to oxidize and acquire the marks of time. (Jomar Bragança)
14/58 - Erly Hopper - Restaurant Garden. Two planters flank the entrance to the restaurant, which offers an arid proposal, reminiscent of African vegetation. The concept is reinforced by mango jasmine, plants used in large quantities. The garden, on the other hand, pays homage to Burle Marx, with bromeliads in varying tones arranged in five columns. (Jomar Bragança)
15/58 - Bel Diniz and João Diniz - Cuboesia & Jardim de Aço. Cuboesia is the name for a hybrid installation that combines architecture, design, sculpture, landscaping and poetry. Interaction with the poetic text is encouraged, through the possibility of entering the verses inscribed on the faces of the metal cube. This is surrounded by the Steel Garden – a sculptural composition that suggests that steel is also part of nature. (Bel Diniz)
16/58 - Marina Diniz and Paula Guimarães - Escritório do Jardim. A home office in the backyard. The container was coated on the outside with a durable, easy-to-apply eco-granite. The soapstone makes its way across the lawn to the space, which is punctuated by nautical rope armchairs and poufs and Formica side tables, for informal meetings or just relaxing. Inside, the furniture design stands out, with pieces by Sérgio Rodrigues, Jorge Zalzupin and Jader Almeida. The 22 paintings by Alessandra Rehder form a kind of window. (Jomar Bragança)
17/58 - Daniel Tavares and Marcus Paschoalin – Artist’s Studio. In addition to being a studio, the space also serves as a gallery for the artist to exhibit his work. With a structure made of multidirectional scaffolding and a shade cloth roof, the space is entirely demountable and sustainable, generating little waste during construction. Divided into two spaces, it has a neutral gallery-style living room that does not overlap the works. (Jomar Bragança)
18/58 - Erika Viana – Reading Room. The furniture arrangement immediately catches the eye, with its striking colors, such as the mustard velvet armchairs. The light lines of the iron bookcase contrast with the imposing black lacquer and gold leaf sideboard and the lampshade by Ferruccio Laviani, which is almost an installation. (Jomar Bragança)
19/58 - Janaina Pacheco and Maurício Bonfim - Casa dos Eucaliptos. The proposal here is to simplify. From the metallic structure construction system, which allows for cleaner work, to the option of closing in glass panels. They value natural light, ventilation and the small eucalyptus forest that surrounds the house. With the neutral color palette that highlights white, the project gains even more luminosity. A highlight is the natural stone table, which brings the kitchen closer to the living room. (Jomar Bragança)
20/58 - Aline Castro and Natália Leite – Corredor da Arte. A breather between environments, the corridor allows the visitor to regain energy for the visit. Its white walls and boiseries soften the experience and highlight the work of Rodrigo Tonani in the background. In black and white, acrylic and charcoal on canvas, the work offers an idea of movement and foreshadows the second moment of the environment, where another work by Tonani steals the spotlight. (Jomar Bragança)
21/58 - Mira Mundim, Renata Paranhos and Sheila Mundim - Seed Room. Light tones, wood and various details reveal the care taken in the composition. The oval crib, in the center, was made of wood and straw, with a delicate embroidered curtain. Its highlight is the slatted panel, which demarcates the area from one wall to the other - the same proposal as the Persian runner. The suspended fiber cocoon is another element that adds texture and comfort to the space. (Jomar Bragança)
22/58 - Juliana Vasconcelos - Ticket Office. With a minimalist and graphic inspiration, the ticket office uses few materials in its design. In the foyer, two shades of red with diagonal pagination color the walls and counter. The design creates vanishing points, directing the eye. The same language is used in the minimal lighting: LED tube lights make their way across the ceiling and down the uncoated wall, which reinforces the dramatic appeal of red. (Jomar Bragança)
23/58 - Júnior Piacesi - Refuge. Detached from the ground, six meters above solid ground, the house encourages connections. The metal structure with concrete floor emanates lightness and transparency, minimally interfering with the landscape. The mimetic façade covered in mirrors plays a game of hide and seek in the eucalyptus forest. Inside, the kitchen, table, bed, closet, bathroom and meditation space are integrated. Highlights include the Carlos Motta armchairs, the Lina armchair (in homage to Lina Bo Bardi) and Flos lamps. (Jomar Bragança)
24/58 - Flávio Bahia and Will Lobato - Restaurant. With an African feel, the restaurant uses dark wood on the walls and ceiling, as well as coffee-colored roller blinds. On the floor, the ceramic tiles resemble Corten steel and blend into the palette, which starts with earthy tones and ends with copper. In the background, tables of various shapes are accompanied by linen-upholstered chairs, some with African figures printed on the fabric. In the foreground, the lounge combines the English style, with a coffee-colored Chesterfield sofa, furniture from the 1940s and the raffia table by Elisa Atheniense. (Jomar Bragança)
25/58 - Mineral and Plant With Me Studio - Essence Store. Designed for an essence store, the space features a contemporary style with the painting Algozes V by Christus Nóbrega. The raw ceramics and landscaping indicate the natural aspect of the materials, as opposed to the technological and industrial materials marked by the color white. (Jomar Bragança)
26/58 - Lucas Lage - Bar. The cocktail bar was inspired by New York rooftops and its organic shape molds itself to the pool. The six-centimeter-thick wood of the deck uses the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban firing technique. When carbonized, it gains a weather-resistant bark. The natural wood bar has a backlit stone front and, just above, the brushed brass light fixtures have a gold-colored art deco paint. (Jomar Bragança)
27/58 - Malluh Amorim - Restaurant Bathroom. Right at the entrance, the Raviolo armchairs by Ron Arad reveal the futuristic proposal. The intimate colors create a scenic atmosphere and contrast with the tropical garden integrated into the washbasins, in addition to the works of art interspersed with the slatted panels. In terms of sustainability, it is worth highlighting the materials such as ecogranite and Deca metals, which have flush and water flow control. (Jomar Bragança)
28/58 - Fernanda Basques and Renata Basques - Pantry. The place holds many stories, as a backdrop for major events, meetings and receptions at the palace. The project was created from there, from the backstage of a pantry in Minas Gerais houses. The challenge of updating the space to accommodate other uses was solved by using colors in the lacquered wood and in the raw MDF lacework with an original design by the architects, cut with a laser. (Jomar Bragança)
29/58 - Andrea Pinto Coelho - Lavabo. The French bombê dresser begins the space, a hall reinvigorated by the deep green that colors the walls. The furniture comes with a classic chair, making up the decoration of the anteroom that precedes two bathrooms. Inside, ecogranite coverings, golden metals and fabrics are highlighted. (Jomar Bragança)
30/58 - Mario Caetano - Cineteatro. The environment is intimate, with dark curtains and floors, as well as rebar on the ceiling and walls. The idea is to maximize the smartphone's screen and give the feeling of immersion in what it represents. Several videos show urban scenes, which can be seen in any way the viewer chooses: standing or sitting on round monochromatic beanbags, arranged on organic levels. (Jomar Bragança)
31/58 - Letícia Gontijo Longuinho - Bar do Cinema. The ecogranite countertop was moved to the center of the room, freeing up circulation. The drinks display panel is also within anyone's reach - not just the mixologist -, made in Corten MDF with glass shelves. The textured wallpaper in dry pink makes the space welcoming, combined with the peroba parquet floor. (Jomar Bragança)
32/58 - Cynthia Silva – Armazém Origem Minas. A bit like a boutique, this space reinvents the concept of conventional warehouses, with curved interior architecture and a vaulted ceiling that resembles a basement, but is different because it is very well lit. It has a display case with various products from Minas Gerais, including natural stones, handcrafted pieces and cheeses, organized on wooden stands, and a large sales counter. (Jomar Bragança)
33/58 - OBJ Design and Architecture - Espaço Globo. Light and sound take center stage in this scenic space, in an almost synesthetic and choreographed interaction of the elements, providing several proposals of varying intensities and colors. The environment was designed in white, which gives a three-dimensional impression highlighted by the mirror cutouts, expanding the range of sensations. (Jomar Bragança)
34/58 - Casa Tereze - Atelier da Vila. The external cladding in pine paneling gives an air of a rustic house to the container that protects the studio. A small and comfortable seating area fills the space, and draws attention to the simplicity of the handcrafted metalwork chairs. The wooden deck extends from the internal space, with a charming natural coconut fiber pergola that creates a fun play of light and shadow. (Jomar Bragança)
35/58 - Igor Zanon - Music Room. Minimalist and functional, the room was designed to enjoy music in its purest form. The space reveals its Scandinavian essence in the use of simple materials, designer pieces and the precise curation of works of art. Note the carpet, with a pattern that refers to piano keys. (Jomar Bragança)
36/58 - Valéria Junqueira - Public Bathrooms. The artist Alexandre Mancini, a tile artist and disciple of Athos Bulcão, created the panel in homage to Brazilian modernism. Another work of art is the paintings by James Kudo. To ensure that these works received the attention they deserved, the floor and walls were neutralized with cement coatings. Soapstone, widely used in Minas Gerais, appears on the countertops that support the sinks by Jader Almeida for Deca. The designer also designed the benches in the room. (Jomar Bragança)
37/58 - Rodrigo Aguiar - Café. In the outdoor area, the counter and a 9-meter-long bench are made durable with porcelain tile coverings. As for the furniture, the chairs are designed by the architect, with organic lines and covered in gray waterproof fabric. Navy blue is used on the umbrellas and motorized awning. The color appears more vibrantly on the wall with a panel painted by artist Thiago Mazza, with foliage reminiscent of Burle Marx. (Jomar Bragança)
38/58 - Nagela Rigueira Aud - Jardim do Bar. Green surrounds the bar, which has a free central area. Dracenas and philodendrons reference Burle Marx's creations, with ornamental appeal and a clean landscaping concept. The tropicality is reinforced by the presence of colors, such as the purple of the imperial bromeliads and the yellow of the Porto Seguro species. (Jomar Bragança)
39/58 - Duppio Design – Meeting Space. The wooden deck is intended to be a refuge for the artist to develop his work, seek inspiration from the landscape and rest. The shade of red makes it stand out against the backdrop of Serra do Curral, complemented by the green of Andreia Campolina's garden. (Jomar Bragança)
40/58 - Bárbara Barbi, Murad Mohamad and Jéssica Sarria Martins - Living Area (OCA). The main architectural element, with a hollow metal structure in corten steel, was shaped in a golden curve and strategically positioned on the muiracatiara wood deck. Thus, it shares space with two other areas, delimited by furniture, including sofas, chaises and low tables. In the center, a sculpture made with pieces of wood trunks and woven baskets accompanies a long wooden bench with a spiral movement. (Gustavo Xavier)
41/58 - Felipe Fontes - Dracaena Garden. Complementary to the Marble Lab environment, the landscaping resembles a square with a tropical atmosphere. The tree-like Dracaena stands out as the only plant species, sharing space only with the lining stones, thus providing a cleaner and more modern look. (Jomar Bragança)
42/58 - Evaldo Rios - Espaço Cape. Near the entrance, the small space is like an open-air stand, covered by two black umbrellas that separate the uses: on one side, it is intended for a social action and, on the other, it serves as a small CASACOR Minas store. An ecobloc platform guides the composition, divided only by dry benches, which also close off the external sides. (Jomar Bragança)
43/58 - Carol Quinan - Jardim do Encontro. An outdoor living area that offers the same comfort and charm as an indoor environment. The multifunctional furniture makes it possible to have meals there, as well as relax by the fireplace or spend some time on the swing. The elegance is provided by the punctual burgundy and black, which structure the curves of the walkway and terrace, in a style reminiscent of Burle Marx. (Jomar Bragança)
44/58 - André Prado and Paula Zasnicoff - Niemeyer Pavilion. An expressive reinterpretation of the Niemeyer Building, one of the most famous buildings in Belo Horizonte, the project subverts its form and presents it from the inside out – as if it had been turned inside out. The repetition of horizontal blades brings the Building and Pavilion closer together, reflecting on the importance of empty spaces in the city. (Jomar Bragança)
45/58 - Sala das Palmeiras - Studio Room. A space that allows contemplation, opens to the outside and blends in with it, with views of Serra do Curral. A type of living room-balcony, which harmoniously combines technological elements with the organic formats of nature. The rarefied furniture with few colors proposes a modern style. (Daniel Mansur)
46/58 - Vera Valenzuela - Garden of Pots. The sets of handcrafted cast iron pots were arranged randomly to create a unique garden. They reveal the joy of red impatiens flowers. The space also features a vertical garden that alternates between orchids, staghorn ferns, Portuguese lace and oncidiums, creating a volume that acts as thermal and acoustic insulation. (Jomar Bragança)
47/58 - Rita Cruz - Jardim das Palmeiras. The option was to use few species and reinforce the feeling of the building's concrete rigidity with the arid presence of mandacaru. The landscaping also takes advantage of the beauty of the Phoenix palm tree massif, the Eugênia tree and a moraine massif. Among the professional's references are the works of Luís Carlos Orsini and also Burle Marx. (Jomar Bragança)
48/58 - Mariza Rizk - TransPLANTE. Presented as an installation, the garden provokes questions in visitors. It breaks with traditional expectations regarding the garden, establishing a dialogue with art and contemporaneity. (Jomar Bragança)
49/58 - Nãna Guimarães - Burle Marx Garden. The landscaper aims to restore the master's initial design by exploring the contrast between curves and straight lines, between hardness and simplicity. In the same way, this 400-square-meter space relates to the architecture of the Mangabeiras Palace, using native Brazilian plants. She managed to obtain six species used by the famous landscaper: Guaimbé, Camará, Bela Emília, Trapoeraba Roxa, Giesta and Agave. (Jomar Bragança)
50/58 - Andreia Campolina - Jardim Contemplation. Overlooking the Serra do Curral and flanked by a curvy pool, it’s easy to understand the garden’s name. Its shapes and textures pay homage to the style of Niemeyer and Burle Marx. Bromeliads, neoreglelias and dianelias in yellow and purple outline and border the path, which follows the organic shape of the pool. (Jomar Bragança)
51/58 - Uriel Rosa - Jardim Music Room. The rich composition uses imbés, philodendrons and lirata ficus, highlighting the visual appeal of the species and the different proportions and textures they present. (Jomar Bragança)
52/58 - Ana Bahia and Sarah James – Marble Lab. The project goes beyond the concept of a kitchen to provide a complete, sensorial and spatial experience. The inviting main façade houses armchairs and tables made of sheet metal and marble. The space can be used for a variety of purposes, such as cooking classes, dinners and even lectures. Built in a steel frame, the laboratory can be easily transported to other sites. (Jomar Bragança)
53/58 - Ø architects - Pottery. The white enclosure distributes the ceramic pieces irregularly, enhanced by the stage lighting in niches. Highlighting Minas Gerais crafts, the project aims to be a display case, in which the yellow cavities protect the ceramics with architectural language. (Jomar Bragança)
54/58 - Estela Netto - Living Room. Made of special metal latticework and steel frame closure, the construction uses florim on the façade to create an aesthetic impact. Taking advantage of the spaciousness to create a fluid layout, the space has a home cinema, gourmet space, wine cellar and fireplace lounge. The furniture, designed by Jader Almeida, Mauricio Bonfim and Tidelli, reinforces a contemporary proposal, also present in the works of art. (Jomar Bragança)
55/58 - Erika Steckelberg, Graziela Costa, Kívia Costa and Zuleica Lombardi – Estar Kazza. The harmonious composition creates a common style for all the rooms – living room, dining room, fireplace and TV. Brazilian design stands out amidst the neutral walls, which feature pieces by Jader Almeida, Aristeu Pires and Gustavo Bittencourt, as well as a sculpture by José Bento and a painting by Inimá de Paula. Wood, straw and clay vases bring a natural feel to the room, in harmony with the mountainous landscape outside. (Jomar Bragança)
56/58 - Pedro Lázaro - Main Hall and Dining Room. In the living room, the marble architectural element is not exactly a gourmet kitchen, but it allows the finishing of dishes by concentrating a cooktop, a support bowl and the family sink. It is worth noting how the original elements were preserved and restored, such as the walls covered in Riga pine and the floor in peroba parquet. The lamp-installation is a partnership between multi-artist Rita Lessa and A. de Arte. (Jomar Bragança)
57/58 - Gustavo Penna, Laura Penna and Tina Barbosa - Salão Nobre. The space uses refined elements to endorse an idea of nobility, such as an organic green carpet, which hugs the pillars and extends into the space as an invitation to those entering. The muxarabi takes on a contemporary language, highlighted by the unique work of art, which takes up an entire wall, brings color to the space, and also references the huge panels characteristic of modernism. (Jomar Bragança)
58/58 - Betina Marques, Gabriel Passos and Túlio Manata - Lecture Space. The variable and changeable layout facilitates the reception of lectures and launches, in a lounge that has nautical rope furniture and makes the entrance more inviting. The brise-soleils permeate the light softly, in contrast to the lead metal structure that gives it an industrial aesthetic. (Jomar Bragança)
