The concept

Made for slowing down

In this beach house, located in Tibau do Sul, everything invites comfort and relaxation: natural tones, timber and lush landscaping.

The eucalyptus pergolas filter the coastal light and draw shadows that change through the day, while the sunken lounge reaches over the pool — a front-row seat for the late afternoon.

Inside & out

The whole house opens up

In the double-height living room, large timber-framed sliding doors glide away and dissolve the boundary between living space, veranda and pool — the breeze crosses the house.

The burnished-cement niche panel, with built-in lighting and handcrafted pieces, sets the tone of the interior: serene, in natural textures and fibers.

Kitchen, veranda and hammocks

The kitchen with its stone island opens onto the living area, and the gourmet veranda — barbecue, a table for many and hammocks facing the garden — concentrates the life of the house on beach days.
