crisp white walls and lush green lawns

Located in Casa Salto in the countryside of Sao Paulo Brazil sits a contemporary country house designed by AMZ Arquitetos. Every common room in the single-story home continues uninterrupted, aside from the kitchen, which features a sliding wall connecting it to the dining room. Each of the four bedrooms is fitted with louvered doors, which slide open right onto the pristine plot and pool.

A brise-soleil covers the entire west side of the dwelling, shielding the rooms from any harsh afternoon sunlight.  Every side of the house either has a breathtaking valley view or an equally gorgeous garden and pool view. Since it is built on such a large plot, Casa Salto is very private; but carefully designed interior views protect from people peering into the home. There is something so refreshing about crisp white walls teamed with wooden accents and lush green lawns. Oh… and no pool fences!
