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.

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 contemporary fireplace nestles atop a full room length mantel at one side of the space, to use on cooler nights.

A burst of bright yellow shouts from one feature wall, and the hue is continued into the bathroom scheme.
