Brazil

Ricardo Fasanello

In the name of authentic craftsmanship

Ricardo Fasanello’s free-spirited imagination was boosted by his genuinely artisanal creative process.

Casa de Vidro

The house of Brazil’s “civilizing architect” Lina Bo Bardi

It makes it difficult to imagine that when architect Lina Bo Bardi bought this piece of land back in 1950, it was then a shaved ground lot from a tea estate, free of any type of tree or construction for miles around and without access to water, gas or electricity networks.

CHEZ GEORGE

Music House on the Hill

Built in the 1970s by Carioca architect Wladimir Alves de Sousa, this stunning villa encapsulates Brazilian modernism and brutalism.

CASA ATIBAIA

In the Shadow of Bo Bardi

A virtual house that sits between this delicate and airy essence and a more brutal and primitive aspect.

Casa das Canoas

Quintessence of the Brazilian House

Late morning of October. Blue sky and sweaty weather typical of the beginning of the summer in Rio de Janeiro.
