项目 - 在贝洛奥里藏特郊外的田园中，TETRO Arquitetura打造了塞里马之家这一独具特色的建筑。要抵达这座住宅，访客需穿越一片山脉，这段旅程标志着一个转变过程。离开城市的喧嚣，访客进入一个宁静环境，与自然完全融为一体。

设计团队以诗意建筑为理念，创造了一个被黑色石墙蜿蜒分割的双重体验空间。这座350平方米的住宅所在位置展现两种截然不同的景观：一侧是山脉的广阔开放视野；另一侧是茂密的树林，充满绿意。在这种开阔景观与遮蔽庇护所的平衡之间，住宅和谐地融入其中。塞里马，这种当地典型的鸟类，在此处自由漫步，也因此成为这座住宅名称的灵感来源。

住宅最引人注目的特点是那条诗意的蜿蜒墙壁，它将房屋分为两个世界。一侧是欢迎空间：明亮、充满声音、音乐和活力，拥有山脉的开阔视野。另一侧是休憩空间：安静、内省、沉浸在森林的荫蔽中，专为休息和阅读而设计。

建筑材料加强了与景观的联系。蜿蜒的墙面覆盖着黑色石材，与白色石材地面形成鲜明对比。这座住宅既是庇护所，也是生活体验。单一材料——石材，定义了其本质。塞里马之家是时间、河流、山脉、洞穴的化身，更是诗意的具象表达。

团队 - TETRO Arquitetura成立于2001年，是一家总部位于巴西贝洛奥里藏特并在全球范围内活动的建筑设计事务所。由建筑师Carlos Maia、Débora Mendes和Igor Macedo领导，该事务所专注于将巴西现代主义建筑传统与创新设计方法相结合，重新诠释建筑与自然的关系。

事务所的设计方法基于对场地前提条件和客户需求的严谨研究，为每个项目提供独特且不可复制的解决方案。其设计特色包括与自然的融合、原材料的运用以及对空间虚实关系的精妙探索。团队以巴西现代主义建筑为出发点，重新思考其核心概念，以创新方式回应当代建筑挑战。

TETRO的多学科团队致力于各类项目，包括住宅、商业建筑、学校、医院、博物馆等。其作品获得众多国际认可，包括Architizer A+Awards、World Design Awards、Architecture & Design Collection Awards等奖项，并入选Architectural Digest的AD100榜单。该事务所被Architizer评为"巴西25家最佳建筑事务所"前10名，并参与了2021年和2023年的威尼斯双年展。

TETRO Arquitetura的设计理念将技术卓越性与文化遗产价值相结合，创造出既体现巴西建筑精神又具全球视野的作品。他们的住宅项目，如塞里马之家，展现了对自然环境的深刻理解和对建筑空间诗意表达的独特能力。

Project Name: Seriema House

Location: Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Project - TETRO Arquitetura has completed their latest masterpiece - Seriema House, situated in a bucolic refuge on the outskirts of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. To access the residence, visitors must cross a mountain range, a journey that marks a transition. Leaving behind urban noise, one enters a serene environment fully integrated with nature.

The design team created a 350-square-meter dwelling positioned between two distinct landscapes: on one side, a wide, open view of mountains; on the other, a dense forest full of trees. In this balance between expansive vistas and shaded refuge, the house fits harmoniously. Seriemas, birds typical to the region that roam freely around the property, inspired the residence's name.

The project's most distinctive feature is its poetic, winding wall covered in black stone, which divides the house into two worlds. On one side lies the welcoming space: bright, filled with sounds, music, and movement, with open mountain views. On the other, the retreat space: silent, introspective, immersed in forest shadows, dedicated to rest and reading.

Materiality reinforces the connection with the landscape. The sinuous black stone wall creates a dramatic contrast with the white stone flooring. Conceived as more than a home, the house was designed as a space for pause—a place to read, rest, contemplate the landscape, and share moments with friends. Seriema House embodies time, river, mountain, and cave. It is, above all, poetry in architectural form.

Design Team - Founded in 2001, TETRO Arquitetura is an architectural practice based in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, working globally under the leadership of architects Carlos Maia, Débora Mendes, and Igor Macedo. The studio focuses on reinterpreting Brazilian modernist traditions through innovative design approaches that reimagine the relationship between architecture and nature.

The practice's methodology is anchored in rigorous research of site conditions and client requirements, seeking unique and irreplicable solutions for each project. Their design language features integration with natural surroundings, the expressive use of raw materials, and sophisticated exploration of spatial voids. The team takes Brazilian modern architecture as a starting point, rethinking its core concepts to provide innovative responses to contemporary architectural challenges.

TETRO's multidisciplinary team develops projects across various typologies, including residential, commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and museums. Their work has received numerous international recognitions, including the Architizer A+Awards, World Design Awards, and Architecture & Design Collection Awards, alongside inclusion in Architectural Digest's AD100 list. The firm ranks among the top 10 in Architizer's "25 Best Architecture Firms in Brazil" and has participated in the Venice Biennale in both 2021 and 2023.

TETRO Arquitetura's design philosophy combines technical excellence with cultural heritage values, creating works that embody Brazilian architectural spirit with global relevance. Their residential projects, such as Seriema House, demonstrate a profound understanding of natural context and a unique ability to express architectural poetry through spatial composition.
