House MM honors the built heritage of Rio Pardo with an essential language. A wooden pavilion with a clay-tiled roof rises lightly from a stone base framed by symmetrical colonnades. Positioned at the center of a sloped site, the house opens to a native garden, dissolving visual and spatial boundaries. Along a central axis, spaces unfold: living and veranda form an open social core, while private areas offer quiet retreat. Sliding glass panels and wooden screens mediate light, airflow, and intimacy. Architecture and life converge in a single gesture, in deep dialogue with place and time.
