Inaugurated in 2008, with a design by architect Rodrigo Cerviño, this gallery, which houses works by Adriana Varejão, does not reveal from the outside what lies within. The "blind building," as Cerviño called it, is a large concrete box suspended over a reflecting pool, which, in turn, reflects and amplifies the surrounding nature, proposing a dialogue between architecture and landscape. The starting point for the gallery's design is the very structure that previously occupied the site: a support shed for the maintenance of the old farm, which, upon removal, left a marked cut in the elevation of the land, used as the basis for the gallery's construction.
