Miniature houses, real stories
Each model in Ibiti has a story. Some represent houses that already exist and have been restored; others, dreams of future projects.
🛖 Boa Vista Farm: "It must be from the mid-1700s, left over from the bandeirante period. It's been completely restored. We kept the original architecture, but opened more windows for the beautiful view of the mountain wall. Internally, it has been adapted for lodging."
🏡 Casa da Mata do Luna"It was all built with demolition material, right down to the bricks. It was the first home of the biologists who looked after the muriquis in Mata do Luna. It even has a research laboratory."
🌿 The future Bistrô das Sete Quedas"Our dream is to build a restaurant and pizzeria overlooking the Seven Falls, right below the Window of Heaven."
And the stories don't stop there. There's Wangari's mansion, the Freud House, the Areião 'loft'... Each building brings a little piece of Ibiti and its commitment to preservation.
