L-shaped concrete villa frames a private courtyard with central pool, balancing exposed concrete volumes and transparent glass to create a dialogue of solidity and openness.
' The Atlantic forest represents Brazil - more than the sea, the beaches and bikinis, more than soccer, more than a Carnaval picture,' Casas reflects. ' This house is inserted in the forest and the wood covering tries to mimic it in the landscape - as if it was possible. The transparency, more than any aesthetic value, aims to justify the human presence in this place.'
