Its outward look, in any case, is secured in wood, a gadget used to shield it from the ocean air and make it more natural looking in the midst of the green Mata Atlântica. Keeping in mind the end goal to give greatest coordination between the inside and outer territories, expansive coated windows were utilized, permitting practically every room in the house abundant communication with the scene.

To balance the utilization of timber, the fundamental component in the venture’s stylish course of action, inside regions were considered with solid accentuation on the dialog among materials, either completed or unfinished – swaying in the middle of natural and cutting edge.
