Long Eco Family Home with Huge Roof Lawn

A full length green lawn marks this extraordinary large family home.

The lawn reflects its bucolic setting in the countryside outside São Paulo in Brazil.

At one end, the home houses a picture perfect garage, like a child’s drawing.

The long plan allows for six bedrooms and a master bedroom on the pool side, and another suite with a private entrance.

An opening in its center creates a transition between interior and exterior.

The central patio opens out on an enormous pool almost like a lake in front.

This central patio opens to both sides under a low flat roof.

The pool extending outwards from the underground patio creates another long axis view at right angles to the house.

This central opening is an enormous underground patio that faces out towards the pool.

To one side of the open patio, the indoor great room opens out fully to the front and closes up behind the screen doors, like the bedrooms.

While the central patio has a long low flat roof, the living room has a gabled roof that follows the roof line.

The rooms all face out to the morning sun.

A tiled stone floor is set in to the concrete as if it is a rug in the center of the great room.

To one end of the great room the dining area catches the morning sun.

The kitchen is warm and inviting.

A very unusual home.
