  • Descrição: According to Seco, whose family moved from Rio to Brasilia when he was a child, the name of their firm references that shared aesthetic: The staggered rectangular beds that separate the house from the road give form to a fledgling wilderness of amargoso and sunny aldama flowers; the garden, Teodoro says, has brought native wildlife back to what had previously been pastureland choked with exotic grasses planted decades before for grazing horses. Running along the base of the west-facing wall, recessed panels of glass - like the gap between the buildings and the ground - make the house feel as weightless as Niemeyer's iconic cathedral downtown, dedicated in 1970 and shaped like a puff of smoke left behind by a rocket. Since completing the house in 2017, Bloco has increasingly taken on projects that preserve the colors and textures of the Cerrado.
