Contemporist_ Gisele Borges Arquitetura has completed a residential building in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, which features boldly designed architecture that stands out in the local landscape.
The building, which is located on a narrow lot of 41 feet (12.7m), includes14 lofts and 24 studios, however, it’s the metal exterior that caught our eye.
The facade that covers the building is made from aluminum panels, each painted in an earthy reddish sepia tone that alludes to the abundance in Minas Gerais of raw ore.
In order to obtain lightness and transparency for the bold building, the aluminum panels have perforations in different sizes, allowing the view of the surrounding area to be seen from within the building.
From the outside looking in, it isn’t possible to see the interior, guaranteeing privacy to the resident.
Contrasting the metal panels are concrete framed windows that are scattered throughout the building.
Here’s a glimpse of the interior view of the panels and how it looks from inside the building.
