Located on the edge of a golf course, this residence was designed to enhance the open vi-
ew and integration with the landscape. In response to the owner's desire for a single-story
home, the project focuses on a light and contemporary architecture, with large, integrated
spaces facing the landscape.
The horizontal structure is based on a layout that emphasizes spatial fluidity and a cons-
tant dialogue between indoors and outdoors. On one side, the living areas open to the gar-
dens; on the other, to the golf course.
Large glass panels ensure transparency, cross ventilation and abundant natural light, blur-
ring the boundaries between the interior and exterior spaces.
Wooden sliding panels allow the TV room and kitchen to be closed off when needed. The
kitchen includes a skylight, allowing natural light even when enclosed.
Natural materials like stone and wood take center stage, bringing warmth, texture and ti-
melessness to the composition. The wooden slatted ceiling runs throughout the social
area, reinforcing the unity and horizontality of the project, while the 4-meter cantilevered
veranda enhances the lightness of the structure.
The wood decking was dehydrated to maintain the light color palette in harmony with the
travertine marble flooring.
In the private area, the children's and master suites face the golf course view. Perforated
aluminum brise-soleils provide privacy while still allowing light and views.
The carefully curated furniture combines signature pieces by prominent Brazilian desig-
ners, works of art and objects of refined selection, creating a sophisticated and inviting at-
mosphere.
This home was designed as a space for hosting — friends, family and meaningful mo-
ments.
In the gourmet area, a 9-meter table is supported by a wine cellar, refrigerated counters,
stove, barbecue and oven.
The L-shaped floor plan fosters social interaction, with the living areas integrated with the
kitchen, gourmet area, balcony, patio with pool and deck. Sauna, spa and gym complete
the layout, reinforcing its leisure and wellness-oriented character.
More than just a country house, this is a contemporary retreat where architecture, landsca-
pe and quality of life intertwine in harmony and elegance.
