Gaudenzi Arquitetura has designed a beautiful contemporary home for a young couple with a small daughter, located in the southern area of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. More specifically, the house sits in the residential neighborhood of Gávea, which is well known for the Baixo Gávea, a buzzing enclave packed with trendy cafes and bars.

Built to preserve the majority of the external terrain, which is highlighted by its lush vegetation, all areas of the home flow seamlessly from inside out. Natural light then beams in to brighten up each room, while the residence's transition between covered and uncovered areas is a key standout element of the house.
