Rosso Wall
This living space is the epitome of comfort and sophistication. The
Rosso marble wall showcases a piece by Brazilian artist Bechara,
adding an artistic touch to the environment. A sliding panel conceals
the TV screen, which is revealed when needed for entertainment
moments. The fireplace provides warmth, making the space perfect
for conversations and relaxation.

View of the Atlantic
At Brisa House, the rooftop was designed for sea observation. For this
reason, the seating has been arranged to offer a privileged view of the
ocean. One of the standout features of the layout is the side table, a
genuine ship's propeller topped with a glass surface.

Awapé: A sculpture by Hugo França
The Awapé sculpture, created by renowned Brazilian artist Hugo
França, was carefully placed in the garden, amidst the lush forest
surrounding the area. Its organic shapes blend seamlessly with the
vegetation, naturally integrating into the environment. Its base was
designed in corten steel, complementing the house's architecture
and enhancing the harmony between art, nature, and structure. Each
element was thoughtfully planned to work together, resulting in a
setting of pure contemplation and visual balance.

Equilíbrio table
The furniture at Brisa was designed to preserve the views, seamlessly
blending with its natural surroundings. The Equilíbrio table,
created by FCstudio, is inspired by the choreography of a ballerina.
Its cantilevered metal structure supports the five metre long top,
allowing the table to accommodate social interactions around it with
a light and sculptural presence, relying on just a single support.

Libélula table
Designed by FCstudio, the Libélula table, as the name suggests, is
inspired by the wings of a dragonfly. The table's legs add lightness
and open up the view for residents to the beautiful surrounding
landscape. The amorphous top introduces an element that, combined
with the natural veins of Rafaello marble, makes this piece perfectly
aligned with the briefing. A design full of personality.

Onda sideboard
Inspired by the coastline of São Paulo, the Onda sideboard, designed
by FCstudio, was created based on a photo of Iporanga beach,
capturing the moment when the sea waves meet the sand. The curved
Krion doors were shaped in an organic and symbolic way to translate
the genius loci of the piece into furniture design.

Haste Lamp
Created to illuminate a sculpture in a homogeneous way, the Haste
lamp, designed by Flávio Castro, founder of FCstudio, is a horizontal,
minimalist light fixture that floats in space, without adornments or
ornamentation.

Stonehenge table
The Stonehenge Table also carries the FCstudio DNA. It is inspired
by the robustness of the Neolithic stones of Stonehenge. The tabletop
and structure are formed solely by the positioning of the parts, all
made from the same material, raw and timeless. It was an attempt to
use leftover materials from the house under construction. dw
