If it’s not the lush tropical foliage encroaching from all sides that will have you wishing for an escape from winter to this exceptional Brazilian home, then the rich, dark wood and concreate interiors will do the trick. Nestled in a neighbourhood of Sau Paulo, the CM House by Dado Castello Branco Architects is a carefully balanced architectural feat, designed to combine inside and outside living to a level that blurs the sense of interiors and exteriors. Enclosed by floor-to-ceiling glass throughout the house, along with a wide-open space that integrates an outdoor sitting area with the living room, the building is engineered to create an unmistakable sense of flowing space unlimited by partitions.
The rough, minimal concrete is warmed by large swathes of smooth, rippled wood, and an enticing pool – surrounded by soaring palms – adds an extra touch of luxury. Visit the architecture studio here.
