Located in the south of
Minas Gerais, within a gated community, this
house of
422 m² designed by
Mariane Frota Arquitetura for a couple in the health field features a
landscape design that is an essential part of its identity: signed by landscape architect
Flávia D’Urso, from the cast of
CASACOR Minas, the project was born alongside the architecture, respecting the sloped topography of the corner lot and creating a fluid dialogue between nature and construction.
The idea was simple, yet ambitious:
to transform each space into an invitation to well-being, with a strong presence of green from the first step to the leisure projects. The landscape design embraces the entire house with about
24 tropical species and organic shapes, contrasting with the straight lines of the architecture. Right at the entrance,
a cantilevered walkway over a garden with guaimbês and agapanthus sets the welcoming tone of the project.
"We wanted green to be present as a sensory experience from the moment you arrive. Each plant was chosen to enhance this journey and create an emotional connection with the projects," explains Flávia.
On the facade, date palms, grasses, and dasilírios soften the rigid geometry with movement and texture, while in the pool area, where the green space is limited, the vegetation takes center stage.
Brown-necked palm trees, marantas, alocasias, and viburnums were strategically positioned to ensure shade, privacy, and enhance the perception of space. "The synergy between architecture, landscape design, and interiors allowed everything to be executed in a coordinated manner, including an automated and sectorized irrigation system," Flávia concludes.
