Lotus Condominium.

The lotus flower is the conceptual origin of the elegant and harmonious architectural features, naming the development and reconfiguring the interaction of people and buildings in the planned urban micro-spaces. An island in an artificial lake hosts all the living areas and it is from it that curved prestressed slabs, walkways and buildings inspired by petals mirrored in the water sprout. Like a lotus flower, the biophilic impression proposes an architecture that mimics nature and is striking in its simplicity.

At the entrance to the condominium, the portico molded in exposed concrete lends the organic shape of a semi-petal. The light, flowing curves continue into the buildings that house party rooms, sports and leisure areas, as well as the heated infinity pool. Niemeyer's renowned Casa do Baile, designed in Belo Horizonte in 1943, is a modernist benchmark for the use of spacious environments and natural elements in their pure state, strengthening the relationship between indoors and outdoors and the perennial and timeless experience of space.

It is also from the island that the plots - and therefore all the future homes - are organized, offering an experience of walkability and connection that is unprecedented in the region. Seen from above, the condominium illustrates the metaphor of a flower that blooms - from the roofs and central circular volumes of the common areas - and branches out - in the suspended walkways, bridges, sidewalks and streets that connect all the homes.

The project takes people to an experience that values tranquillity, always surrounded by water and nature, without losing sight of the importance of designing spaces that are both functional and beautiful to be in on a daily basis.
