Leaf House is a mansion, designed by architects from Mareines + Patalano Arquitetura. This beautiful eco-friendly Brazilian flower was "planted" near Rio de Janeiro on a small beach with turquoise water. Leaf House is an ideal refuge from hot tropical climate. The roof in the form of giant petals protects from the sun, and plenty of verandas provide a perfect area for enjoying an ocean breeze. The complete absence of corridors not only promotes natural ventilation, but also creates welcoming atmosphere. The mansion is ideal for young and energetic people, as an open plan with interconnected rooms and spacious terraces give an opportunity to arrange parties and meetings with friends. True to say, it?s just an amazing masterpiece.

What can be better than to have a house on the seashore enjoying beautiful sunrises and sunsets and seeing the waves running to the shore? Thomas Phifer + Partners presented the project of the beach house in Long Island. It has very interesting architectural concept. The roof is curved and undulating as the waves in the sea. So this house perfectly matches the surrounding sceneries. The decor and exterior design is kept minimalistic in order to emphasize the home’s shapeliness. The space is rather subtle. Its free flowing nature embraces the landscape. As the architects say, it is a house with calligraphic flourish, writ lightly yet vibrantly in the sand.
