The history of Baixo SAG began when we were driving in the neighborhood and noticed an old abandoned house. Despite its state of disrepair, we were intrigued by its original architecture and location, and decided to buy the property and restore it with our own funds and the help of some skilled and dedicated workmen.




Only the façade was still intact. The inside had been divided into small rooms where various families had lived before it was completely abandoned.

We documented the various stages of the restoration work. It was not only an enlightening experience for us, but also for the workmen, who were initially surprised to see people like us investing in what many of them (as with much of society) felt was useless junk, ready for the wrecking ball. But as the house’s original glory gradually emerged again, in harmony with its surroundings, their pride in their craftsmanship grew equally.








After restoring the big house, we began another project, reconstruction of the property at number 69, also on Rua Hermenegildo de Barros.

This was an even bigger challenge!

Today we are completing the work on the “69” to receive visitors interested in sharing a stunning view of Guanabara Bay!

We intend to receive people from all over Brazil and the world!
