Isolated Tropical Villa and Guesthouse on a Brazilian Mountainside

 architecture

A holiday villa that is more outside than inside is framed in rustic wood beams and barely filled-in walls of earthy golden stucco.

 architecture

The simple tropical vacation home is sited amidst the most breathtaking unspoiled tropical rain forest on a mountainside in Brazil.

Despite its extreme isolation, the simple retreat is comfortable and has even a spartan sort of eco-luxury.

Sturdy furnishings are simply fashioned of local sustainable timbers.

Here, the comforting old staple of rocking chairs on the porch take on a tropical air.

Huge hollowed-out bamboo supplies fireside storage.

Both TV and fire are housed side by side in the same stone fireplace.

Stairs as rudimentary as in a chicken coop access the one bedroom above.

This bedroom is really a cozy attic-mezzanine overlooking the living area, protected in the rafters of the same steep roof line.

Rustic stone paving leads out from the cottage.

Next the main villa seen here, a path leads across to another, smaller version as a replica, also in local rustic timbers and golden stucco – a guest house.

In this guest house, a rudimentary kitchen is right at the front, almost becoming part of the tropical mountainside.

In this guest cotage, a TV area is set deeper within the living room, while a conversation area is to the front, where guests can soak up the glorious unspoiled scenery.

Guests share the main house swimming pool seen outside.

The remote off-grid pair is by Sarmento & Melo Arquitetura.

A very simple yet charming eco retreat.
