Maria Paz, Thomaz Regatos and Virginia Paz set up Rizoma Arquitetura in Belo Horizonte in 2008. The small, award-winning team has been developing projects ranging from restaurants and galleries to this recent house, Casa Cláudio Moura Castro. 'We are interested in how space can be defined in order to create an experience,' they say. 'You can find simplicity in form, materials and details in most of our projects.'
