Designed by [Studio Arthur Casas architects](=.boGXI1qyUvX7LNAGe6d9SH4D0mgJet_aKcZrXhUhDKo), this 947 square-meter residence in Brazil is constructed with natural wood and stone to be in harmony with the natural environment. The house appears to hover above the forest floor, where it grasps better sights. The bedrooms and guest suite are arranged on two sub-levels, while a top-floor balcony offers a spectacular 180-degree panorama. At treetop height, the main social space in the house draws in an open vista but is still wonderfully immersed in vegetation. =.c2kvZoSblj_rnNcU7dH5B61kubXnPZQzGBAphNngZPs The house emerges from the trees, pushing out through the greenery like a seasoned adventurer seeking the view. Glass frontage reveals the luxury guest suite and home office at the base of the building, with other bedroom suites stacked on top. =.PFrTRmhhPMe_kO-idFEnqSF3JlraNsa0z6XA2HFNaLE A green rooftop settles the modern architecture within its lush surroundings. A long swimming pool stretches across the edge of the top floor terrace, putting it front and center with the ocean panorama. =.P1dXvMEa2uAyqIMAK0gsSlVLsv34KfQBV-ZQeYvhvpQ When dipped into the cool pool water, it’s easy to imagine being in the wide ocean below. It’s not just a swimming pool but an invigorating and uplifting place to spend sunset and sunrise. Retractable doors adjoin the pool terrace with the main living space, creating one free-flowing connection between indoor and outdoor living. =.mlXuUmL_ukchvbMuIwyPs2bHkznAg6dSKImyD06ffHU This luxury home has a [living room with a spectacular view](=.Trl9lPPelNPBmMsmvP2YI8xvt3XDY8MLPv2t4Al88IA). Treetops nibble at the edge of a sweeping ocean panorama, where rocky land masses rise out of the waves like great sea creatures. =.jLx-TbKNJgHJXbi6OSBgcvOEFKh3v0VzHFc-74320i0 A ceiling-mounted modern fireplace descends in the center of the view, adding dramatic flame and comforting warmth to the experience. A wood-clad ceiling builds upon the warm and soothing aesthetic. =.8EuedUdoaTRhOGMJ99DLQjzrcXfh9Pxs6OFjFc6xTcE Two [tufted chairs](=.xDzkVzbf8wIl_6mka8a0tlAzMuU96wa7O9lk-KSibYE) sit at the back of the living room furniture arrangement, perfectly positioned toward the panorama. Behind them, a row of metal fins, covered in wood, are fixed to the concrete beams of the façade. The fins open up a dense view of the surrounding vegetation. =.4BohHB0uF_exLph9hCYGBTXV-SF0Fojwew2cqeOxYVA The base of the [modern fireplace](=.YU70umWDoncVtLUjI6tfXhpkHeNyW4PJzbd3W0CfxQ0) appears to teeter weightlessly on one edge, much like the floating effect of the house architecture itself. Track lights move along illuminated tracks in the wooden ceiling, brightly splitting the solid wooden panels. =.LmNXYMXtRXb2noSeAnSu9gS9_vM9NH2o-34PSNWiT8o A unique modern coffee table, designed by Arthur Casas, forms the core of the lounge furniture setup. A glass vase brings tropical leaves into the heart of the home. =.P74C0skE5WK0t5Aq_-EiQ7K3ANDPKgr7zsU1b85AJWc A separate snug is fashioned at one end of the main floor, tucked behind another modern fireplace. Nestled behind the tallest treetops, this space has a cozy, intimate atmosphere. A modular sofa draws an L-shaped configuration that’s packed with an assortment of soft cushions. A round coffee table reflects natural light with a smooth glass surface. =.BQW8kKbZEVz1DBXosRHCb0Rrq7lLDl4d6WXXcu-arZA Stone walls give the modern home a rustic essence which translates from the facade to the interior. =.oF90qWHKxP5rjU3rLrkY9Xgqp7BcNquBg4jYprdzsA8 Back in the main lounge area, a modern staircase descends behind one of the modern sofas. =.cwiU-VgrnNTKldfFs243rjKcQK3TZfWTldQjcD-4PQo A thick wooden balustrade divides the staircase and living room arrangement. Rough stone walls provide a textural contradiction to the smooth wood grain. =.7pFyFywb4hwgutWfvtJanqD6bAd1Mg_HsR5bdQwxXAc Sculptural elements dot the wide living space, adding moments of intrigue to the sophisticated setting. =.clUJ5uJ00UuhfFk1Zk6AJz2MpIAC2fl5UJcq8QoAdNA Sun loungers offer the homeowners a place to soak up some rays or to gaze at the stars by night. =.4jZ-DKJ4azo18NiJT_yEMhvhXkG8oCzecCoDJgUwh40 At the other end of the swimming pool terrace, [modern outdoor chairs](=.Bd4rIc-ZPsffw3sxfIIELzMO_8eVHGi8_JmD9AabSfo) are paired with an L-shaped sofa design. =.B-9CANOFbDc_uUndo_1aShyzUkkwb7yH9op3HqWEMM8 A beautiful live-edge coffee table completes the outdoor furniture ensemble. =._xYenIw8M2TPQP18bROPm4o5OKBSAmOsdMA9xB3Q8G8 Clouds pass dreamily overhead while waves lap the shoreline below. =.b_giy9tUrVtaWn5bD4QV51uo3XdNcXqfrCpUr4Px4h0 A live-edge dining table is teamed with modern gray chairs. Unnecessary adornments are kept to a minimum. A simple [glass vase](=.-QChpG14ZN3Lmatp5ahRnQDe7BaH2JHwCH4lQq3q9Is) brings a flash of greenery to the dining room sideboard. =.y688qZ3EDf_tR_PuURUk1lc3a5wGCU1--i6rLiGhE64 The white concrete [staircase design](=.Nrukt5eoONqkQrQ0oO6ChaMxpmiVatWcToWm1uhFhJQ) is atmospherically lit by recessed LEDs. The soft illumination highlights the wonderful texture of the rustic stone walls. =.ISsYWFA8HewB0dEICV1ejjbXjf12Qlh5I38xYlGLHMw LED perimeter lights thread the length of the hallway on the lower floor, guiding the way to the bedrooms. =.Lh9Vzn018Og_2RwEMJAuDB5MS16-dqBFwaHp327F1gU The stairwell also gains light from the living room above. =.adPz6SzSilF-OFlK1KsO9eai5KQTdCgVBgErEJnDRfs The kitchen is situated on the main floor along with the living room. It is a separate space with a sleek, dark gray palette. The wood-clad ceiling treatment continues in the culinary space, which warmly contrasts the dark cabinets. Light floor tiles lift the scheme. =.yACTiVTZMbv7NkHFZCEAMMhkcJ3LZdPm7P2VlxBvmbw Large wooden storage closets are constructed in the connective walkway between living spaces. =.3Fitp_T1FdVNLLg6l5GW7AKKDLELewNrW0e7fKZTwC8 Bedrooms are cleanly decorated in fresh, neutral tones to promote rest and relaxation. The calm palette allows the spectacular view to take precedence. A rustic wooden headboard brings in a bold slice of forest beauty. =.3KahPFqXvhUDo7Sp5QiNtXL8h6auiUdNlwoP2CgUvSk Slivers of forest peep through the wood-clad metal fins that grow 4 meters high around the building. =.AmwvoVH8kgR-JYbvd7YwAuOIS-q1HEZd23YifD7G-z4 From the sky, the property appears like a small treasure chest, lost among the forest leaves. =.RE7iIUxm3YJ6877P2FUkeyvMWnmmf0QHzohYwp9UnHI Wellness and relaxation areas are situated in the base layer of the property, including a spa, sauna, and gym. =.ixQoUvaHUos4NRw1ydq9D95LWSzj0tVe889oLbxQsTU The material composition is sympathetic to the landscape. The vertical wood-clad fins blend with the towering tree trunks. =.9tGC2hI08u4Ly3CagWZcpqlfM7kwBAAJOQXQZTsPu7k Despite its deep immersion in nature, the property is easily accessed by road. =.vwCsGxNI6oHM01IXqhrYKm9wiJ2fqPeDuh7_es4P4jw The large pool terrace and social spaces make this house an ideal place for entertaining guests and extended family. =.QeWUEHEtz9TFduevvvBhzQKd20ubbLTdTCRivwSPVpg Recommended Reading: [Sea Views And Stone Walls Shape A Luxury Modern Home In Brazil](=.QlaPyBnnVY2kvBrvPcx12BJIU221nm_uMQ5hOozJ1X8) For more regular updates from Home Designing, join us on [Facebook.](=.9qUGOXTE-PYwNkKg6_lmV09YvauIDS0wgYD8HYOvUdk) =.-OjQyFPIwG3tAojoV7LjB4SGfLCBExPpYmuV3-aSo4o If you are reading this through e-mail, please consider forwarding this mail to a few of your friends who are into interior design.
