Practice Ideology
Estúdio Zargos is an architecture studio based in Belo Horizonte, and, since its foundation in 2012, they have worked in the design and creation of places to live. The designers believe in a free and creative architecture capable of transforming space and people, exploring what involves them in deep synesthesia with people and places, always looking for a genuine expression of the poetics of living and spaces that inspire and enhance emotions.
Attentive and yearning before this belief, they think of matter and space as a supported and intense experience. Motivated by the critical analysis of contemporary life, their practice is marked by the investigation of disputed and disruptive alternatives. Thereby, they create a living and powerful architecture, expressive in its conceptual, plastic, and landscape essence.
