Its unique geography offers lush vegetation and a large coastline. Responding to this environment, we can see several homes that make the most of this tropical ecosystem by allowing nature to become a part of the design.<\/p>\n<p>The tropical modernist architecture of some of these homes focuses on maximizing natural light and ventilation and using green coverage to create privacy. These private residences often take on a more minimal approach and feature horizontal distributions of mass, flat roofs and large glass exterior walls. Here, the home is stripped down to the most essential functions to allow it to almost dissolve within nature.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/rv3-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RV3 HOUSE<\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>By <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/aguirre-arquitetura\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aguirre Architecture<\/a>, Uberl\u00e2ndia, Brazil<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152330 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV-1.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV-1-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152331 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV3-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV3-2.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV3-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV3-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV3-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV3-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/RV3-2-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/>When faced with a triangular plot, the team decided to create a family home in an L shape for better insolation. The entire house opens up to the elements, much like a gallery with views of nature. Large plants placed around the house create a privacy barrier while allowing the occupants to look at the beautiful sunset outside.<\/p>\n<p>One arm of the house contains a large hall and other social functions whereas the other holds all the private rooms that each have their own personal garden. The integration of green spaces improves thermal conditions and creates a microclimate that increases comfort for those living within. To prevent overheating, the western fa\u00e7ade is made of four large pivoting doors that can turn into an opaque wall when it gets very sunny.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/jungle-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jungle House<\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>By <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/studiomk27-marcio-kogan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studio MK27<\/a>, S\u00e3o Paulo,\u00a0Brazil<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152333 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-1-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152334 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1330\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-2.jpg 1330w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-2-300x162.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-2-1024x554.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-2-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Jungle-House-2-400x217.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1330px) 100vw, 1330px\" \/>A mountainous site, green envelope and views of the ocean are what make this house special. The home is built on an open patch in the vegetation on site. The main volume is then raised above the ground to make it seem like it is emerging out of the mountain. Additionally, the protrusions and decks are built using shapes and materials that blend in with the landscape to enhance this illusion. The ground floor of the home features a wooden deck and a space for the children. Moving upwards, the floor above houses six bedrooms and a TV room. Finally, unlike traditional planning, the upper floor holds the social spaces like the living, dining and swimming areas. The architects have tried their best to ensure that every space connects with the jungle outside and that they can get a clear visual line from the infinity pool to the ocean in the background.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/casa-mipibu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casa Mipibu<\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>By <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/terra-e-tuma-arquitetos-associados\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Terra e Tuma Arquitetos Associados<\/a>, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152335 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-1-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-1-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-1-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-1-400x286.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152337 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1443\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-3.jpg 1443w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-3-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-3-1024x511.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-3-768x383.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-3-1140x569.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-3-625x312.jpg 625w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-3-368x184.jpg 368w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-3-400x200.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1443px) 100vw, 1443px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152336 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mipibu-2-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/>A small plot with only a front elevation free from buildings is a common sight in S\u00e3o Paulo. The narrowness of the site makes it necessary for the design to move vertically. For this project, the architects decided to take an inside-out approach by creating an open interior and a fully closed exterior. They have built two courtyards inside and all the spaces in the home open up to these vertical shafts, bringing in the required light and ventilation.<\/p>\n<p>As with the previous project, the bedrooms of the home are placed on the ground floor for more privacy and the social and recreational spaces are moved upwards since they receive more light. One of the courtyards also features a water body. Trays of plants are placed above the water body to create an indoor garden. The team has also brought in more nature by planting a tree on the roof deck.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/book-house-annex\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Book House Annex<\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>By <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/siqueira-azul-arquitetura\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Siqueira + Azul Arquitetura<\/a>, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152339 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-House-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-House-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-House-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-House-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-House-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-House-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-House-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-House-1-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152340 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-house-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-house-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-house-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-house-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-house-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-house-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-house-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Book-house-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>The annex is an extension of a house created specifically to showcase the owner\u2019s large collection of books. It is planned as a grid and uses a light and slender metal framework to organize the spaces. The entire structure is opened up to the garden around to create the perfect reading nook with an abundance of light and fresh air. The warm wooden shelves contrast with the white hue of the structure and ensure that the books remain the focal point of the design. These wooden hues are replicated in some of the furniture placed around the space.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/casa-biblioteca-library-house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Casa Biblioteca (Library House)<\/a><\/h3>\n<h4>By <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/atelierbranco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Atelier Branco Arquitetura<\/a>, S\u00e3o Paulo,\u00a0Brazil<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152341 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-1-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-1-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-1-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-1-1536x1228.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-1-2048x1637.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-1-375x300.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-152342 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-2-1536x1153.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-2-2048x1537.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-2-66x50.jpg 66w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-2-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_152343\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-152343\" class=\"size-full wp-image-152343 lazy lazy_media_item\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-3-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-3-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.architizer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Library-House-3-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-152343\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Images by Gleeson Paulino, Jaqueline Lessa and Ricardo Bassetti Kaza<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p>The owners had two requirements for this forest retreat: a place to read amid the lush vegetation on the site and a place to think and work with endless views of the skies.
