Two Beams House in Pipa — the photograph chosen as the cover of ArchDaily’s “10 Brilliant Brazilian Houses” selection
Editorial selection · ArchDaily, 2016

Among ten contemporary Brazilian houses.

ArchDaily’s editors picked Two Beams House for the selection “10 Brilliant Brazilian Houses With Contemporary Designs” — and it is the article’s cover image.

This is not a page submitted by the practice: it is curation by the world’s largest architecture platform, which gathered ten houses from across Brazil and opened the list with a house built by Podium, in Pipa.
