When designing a house for himself, Brazilian Architect Arthur Casas turned his approach to architecture inside-out with this unique luxury design that brings outdoors in and indoors out. This modern house in Iporanga, Brazil, is set amid lush forest, and features a Cumaru wood facade that’s broken up by 11-meter glass windows on each side of the house that, with a little push, slide open to transform indoor living spaces into outdoor rooms. This home’s interiors feature finely finished wood on a floor that extends into the outdoors to become a deck. The interior woods are not overwhelming, but rather appear as subtle accents on stairs and in doorways, offering just a hint of nature in an otherwise clean and contemporary style. Arthur Casas
