Designed by Brazilian architect Fernanda Marques, the Limantos Residence is a spacious residence with glazed walls that fold away to adjoin the space with a huge sun deck and private swimming pool. Situated in São Paulo, Brazil, the glorious weather plays a large part in this warm open plan design, even inspiring a sunshine yellow bathroom décor scheme.
A chic laid-back energy flows freely from inside to out at this home, where four out of six enormous glass panels disappear, and fresh air fills the open plan space. A choice of interior and exterior lounge areas make this a great place for entertaining and relaxation.
From the L shaped architecture, the poolside sun terrace is accessible at two sides, which makes the deck become a useful part of the overall floor space.
Warm white exterior lighting illuminates the extra external zone into the evenings.
Huge dual story windows let the natural light flood over the spacious floor plan, giving the subtle interior a joyous feel.
A large spiral staircase gives winding access to the upper floor, where more glazed walls look down over both the interior and exterior zones below.
A wooden ceiling gives the lofty space a look of added warmth.
Large furnishings are kept light, with smaller black accents added for a little depth.
A contemporary fireplace nestles atop a full room length mantel at one side of the space, to use on cooler nights.
The sunshine paints the place in a hazy glow.
A burst of bright yellow shouts from one feature wall, and the hue is continued into the bathroom scheme.
A long wooden basin spans one wall of the washroom.
This open-sided staircase appears to climb the trees, and the suspended acrylic bubble chair beneath the treads looks at home amongst the branches too.
An upstairs sun terrace looks out over a clear blue sky.
