Nestled within the lush Atlantic Forest and offering breathtaking ocean views, LAB House stands as a true masterpiece of contemporary architecture. Designed as a unique observatory, it appears to gracefully float above the vegetation. Conceived by the renowned Studio Arthur Casas, this home seamlessly blends solid and linear forms, contrasting with the surrounding natural elements to create a harmonious sanctuary.
The house's façade is clad in metal fins adorned with wood, extending magnificently to a height of four meters. Supported by an "L"-shaped metal structure anchored to the concrete beams, these fins create a sense of lightness that contrasts with the solidity of the natural stone walls.
The bedrooms, situated on the lower level, open up to generous windows and balconies that extend over the forest, offering an intimate and immersive view of the surrounding nature. Two sub-levels house the suites, with the first dedicated to guests and an office, while the second is reserved for the remaining suites. Just below, a true oasis of well-being awaits, housing a spa, sauna, and gym.
The intermediate level, positioned at the height of the treetops, encompasses the social areas. The living space, seamlessly integrated with the gourmet area, merges with a terrace adorned by a pool that enhances the feeling of immersion in nature.
The house expertly embraces natural materials, with irregular natural stone on the façade. Inside, Arthur Casas' signature is evident in the furniture, where pieces like the iconic "Fusca" sofa, the "Quilombo" writing desk, and the "Square" coffee table create a cozy and sophisticated ambiance.
The studio showcases its brilliance in seamlessly integrating the residence with its environment, offering a life experience that transcends the ordinary. Every detail, from material selection to strategic window placement, contributes to an experience that awakens the senses and connects residents with the untouched beauty of the surroundings. At LAB House, luxury extends beyond refined finishes, encompassing the very essence of space-a celebration of nature and architectural mastery.
