The design of this house is laid out around the veranda, which in the tropical climate of Brazil is a very commonly used space, where the interior and exterior come together. The veranda in this house is perpendicular to the lounge and covers a living room with a TV and part of the kitchen, which continues in the interior of the house. A studio was added in back. The doors separating the spaces on the first floor are sliding and can be recessed.

Swimming pools do not need to be square or have classical measurements. In this case, a long, narrow pool has been built in the space available along one side.

Wooden armchairs can be very uncomfortable. However, if they are wide and have armrests, soft cushions can be placed in them, which also gives you the option to modify the decor.

The rusticity of the stone wall stands out against the modernity of the rest of the house. Stone walls are solid and beautiful, and can provide a space with some coolness in the summer.

This interior patio separates the main volume from the secondary one, which is a home office. A tree provides strength, volume, color, and presence without requiring great care.
