Xingu House, designed by TETRO Arquitetura in Minas Gerais, Brazil, is a monumental residence that touches the mountain at only six points.
But these are not ordinary columns. They are massive, asymmetrical concrete sculptures containing bathrooms, staircases, service spaces, and even an elevator. Instead of hiding the structure, the house makes it part of everyday life.
Above these inhabited supports, three large wings extend toward different parts of the landscape. Some spaces hover above the hillside, while others connect directly to preserved stone terraces and gardens. Glass facades keep the concrete structure visible, reflecting pools soften its weight, and a separate spa retreats into the surrounding forest.
Xingu House is not simply a large home suspended over a mountain. It is a house where structure becomes space — and where the six points holding everything up become the most visible and inhabitable part of the architecture.
