From this glazed pause space, the entire panorama of Belo Horizonte is revealed, while the vertical circulation connects the sequence of volumes above and below. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tetro.com.br\/\"><strong>Brazilian firm<\/strong><\/a> TETRO places the private areas, including the master suite and bedrooms, on the upper block, while two additional rooms complete the family\u2019s program on this level. One floor down, the living room and kitchen extend outward toward a wooden deck and swimming pool. The lowest level, more reserved, contains the service spaces and an office, yet still keeps the horizon in sight.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The project\u2019s name and orientation stem from the residents\u2019 fascination with the moon, which rises behind the mountains that define Belo Horizonte\u2019s skyline.
