A Vacation Home in Brazil Centers on an Indoor-Outdoor Pool

 architecture

Overlooking Lake Furnas in Minas Gerais,  Mutabile Arquitetura have built a vacation home that provides the perfect viewing platform.

Diners look directly out over the peaceful view from the center of the large family home.

The pool extends out from the center of a long building housing bedrooms on both sides.

Local stone slab walls and deep red stucco walls mark the private bedroom wings to each side of the central pool.

Stone slabs walls provide a real textural contrast.

A cozy smaller interior living room, faced in the stone slabs, is set to one side of the central pool.

The large family is housed to one side of the pool, while guest bedrooms are lined up along the opposite side.

The sun is to the opposite side from the view, cooling the interior.

Along the back corridor along both wings, the bedrooms can also be approached under a glass roof.

Pebbles and concrete suggest that this corridor is outdoors.

What could have been dark corridors along the bedroom wings is sky lit, sharply delineating the gritty texture of the stone.

This long winding sky light marks the path throughout the circulatory bedroom wings.

By contrast, textures in the central social areas around the pool are polished, smooth and cool.

The indoor-outdoor pool with its overhead doors in metal and glass can only be closed to above the water level, so this home works only in a temperate climate like Brazil.

This is a wonderful vacation home that houses 12, for the family and their many guests to enjoy.
