285 Montevideo – Completion

Design: Vazio S/A Arquitetura e Urbanismo

Location: Montevideo Street, Belo Horizonte, Brazil, South America

285 Montevideo has an atypical storey with larger windows, split levels, planting boxes and an 8-feet ceiling height, what was possible thanks to the maximum utilization of the height allowed by local building regulations.

This is a residential building development by one of the most celebrated architecture studios in Brazil, indeed in South America.

The building also has solar heating, roof gardens, solar shading grilles facing the morning sun, and generous natural ventilation in all its apartments.
