Looking for a home design that fully capitalizes on natural lighting and the surrounding greenery? Then this 5409-square foot home designed by Gaudenzi architects will certainly tickle your fancy.
The stunning paradise is located in the southern part of Rio de Janeiro. From the street, you can get a glimpse of the beautiful architecture peeping from behind colourful greenery. The sight is quite intriguing. But don’t get excited yet.


Let’s first explore the luxury that abounds within. Shall we?
The Interior
The expansive open floor plan and vaulted ceilings are fascinating. Elements such as the rich wood flooring, vintage-style furnishings, and well-organized shelving are quickly noticeable to the eye, thanks to the area’s uncluttered design.
You don’t need to invest in expensive pieces of artwork for your living room. Books carefully arranged on floating shelves also do a perfect job.



A selection of beautiful houseplants brings the lush outdoor greenery inside. With such a dining table, you can’t fear to invite all of your friends to a dinner party.


The staircase with open wood steps adds some industrial touch to the space. The steps overlook a laid-back set of wall hooks. You can hang your jackets, hats, and some decorative elements on the hooks.


From the second floor, you can have a clear view of what is happening in the lower floor. Large lighting pendants come in handy in the absence of natural light.
Your eyes can’t miss the charming parallel panelling on the ceiling. There’s more greenery on the upper floor teamed with sleek wood flooring.



Let’s now step out and marvel at the outdoor scenery.
The Exterior
A spiral staircase provides access to the home interior. The outdoor hammock provides a perfect place for enjoying the warm afternoon sun.
Vines climbing outdoor posts add to the stunning look of the courtyard. The look of the red-tinted wood used on the outdoor deck doesn’t disappoint as well.


The patterned tile coupled with reclaimed wood dining table gives the outdoor space a welcoming aura. Brazil’s blue sky crowns the heavenly feel of this lush sanctuary.
