Project Name: Pomar do Cafezal House in Pomar do Cafezal
Architect: Coletivo LEVANTE
The Barraco do Kdu, called "Kudu's Shack", is located in the Aglomerado da Serra neighborhood, the largest slum in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte. From the outside, the exposed red brick blends perfectly into the slum, which is no different from other houses, but its interior design is "unique". ArchDaily believes that the design of the building represents a constructive model, using materials commonly found in the slums and paying sufficient attention to perfecting the building's daylighting and ventilation, resulting in a space of extremely high environmental quality.
