Modernist with a Brazilian twist

Striking materials, a thoughtful composition and the tropical location coupled with Brazilian-influenced art and furniture evoke the essence of a South American home

Designed by Strang Design

From the architects:

Our latest residence showcases Strang Design's dedication to 'environmental modernism' while at the same time reflecting the owners' cultural heritage and way of life.

The environmentally conscious home, with stand-out architecture and interior design, is for a family of four from Brazil. 

We paid close attention to the owners' desires and way of life – creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that reflects their cultural heritage.


One of the primary design goals was to ensure that the home had a sense of connectivity, despite its size. 

Strang Design achieved this by creating comfortable spaces that are ideal for gathering, yet still allow for individual activities. 

The use of vintage, one-of-a-kind furniture reflects the owners' cultural background and adds an individualistic touch to the design.

A significant challenge for the team was sourcing materials that met the owners' needs, while also being environmentally friendly. 

Strang Design rose to the challenge, using unfilled Travertine for both the interior and exterior flooring, and teak slatted ceilings and walls for texture and warmth. 

We also incorporated strong natural materials like rough-cut Jerusalem tiles for the exterior walls, exposed board form concrete, and teak millwork accents throughout the home.

In addition to the focus on natural materials, Strang Design paid close attention to the landscaping, working with landscape architecture studio La Casona Garden. 

Together, we sourced many native species and designated a portion of the property as a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation.

The residence features a stunning selection of material choices and brands for the interiors, including Mia Cucina for the kitchen design; Opustone for the stone materials; Apparatus Light Fixtures; top-of-the-line appliances from Subzero and Wolf, as well as AV solutions from AVX. 

These brands were selected to complement the overall design and meet the owners' needs and desires.
