The client's wish was completely clear: they wanted to blur the boundary between the living space and the garden in their home. The primary aim of Marcos Bertoldi Arquitectos was therefore to create a flexible living space that provides a flowing transition between indoors and outdoors.

This concept was implemented using Schüco Panorama Design sliding doors, which open up the long side of the home towards the garden and pool. The main block of the house is bordered by two side walls, which are clad in moledo stone. The combination of glass and openness, plus stone and timber on the first floor, creates a piece of architecture that conveys lightness and, at the same time, firmly anchors the entire building in the ground.
Visitors to this luxury home in southern Brazil are led into the expansive living space via a wood-panelled hallway. The architects planned multiple seating areas here, including a reception space, a more formal dining space and a cosy living room. An elegantly curved wooden staircase, clad with timber in a chevron pattern on the outside, leads to the bedrooms on the first floor. This pattern not only gives the house a completely individual look, but it also provides an exciting interplay of light and shadow inside the rooms.
