Exploring the Concept of “Infinite Particular”
In the heart of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, Janaína Araújo Arquitetura e Interiores unveils Studio NaMata, a residential interior design project that draws inspiration from the theme of “Infinite Particular” featured at the CASACOR/Minas Gerais show. With a vision to create a sanctuary away from the bustle of daily life, the architect sought to craft a space where individuals could reconnect with themselves.
Integrating Nature into Architecture
Rooted in the architect’s own origins, Studio NaMata is a testament to harmony between architecture and nature. The project pays homage to the existing trees on-site and the predefined area of the containers, preserving all vegetation to seamlessly blend with the architecture. This integration of nature reinforces the studio’s intention to immerse occupants in an authentic natural environment.
Maximizing Space with Thoughtful Design
Despite its modest size of less than 65m², Studio NaMata offers more than meets the eye. The design capitalizes on the interplay of light and shadow, achieved through facades adorned with perforated louvers in corten steel and transparent glass enclosures. Rustic materials, earthy tones, and textured finishes imbue the space with warmth and tranquility, fostering a sense of serenity.
Originality in Design Elements
In the outdoor spaces, originality reigns supreme. A burnt cement bathtub nestled beside a jabuticaba tree, along with a ceiling crafted from demolition wood, further emphasize the project’s commitment to authenticity. The integrated and compact layout enhances practicality and spaciousness, while strategically placed skylights and brises amplify the influx of natural light.
Conclusion: A Harmonious Haven
Studio NaMata stands as a harmonious fusion of architecture, nature, and design. Through meticulous attention to detail and a reverence for the surrounding environment, Janaína Araújo Arquitetura e Interiores has crafted a space that transcends the ordinary, inviting occupants to immerse themselves in the infinite beauty of their surroundings.
