Casa Quinta is designed to float like a boat at canopy level; a private home in the heart of one of the last remaining stretches of Brazil’s coastal rainforest, the Mata Altantica.
The home sits perched at 100m above sea level on the outermost reaches of the picturesque colonial town, Paraty, where the landscape climbs dramatically upwards to the lush flora and fauna of the Mata Atlantica. The tropical rainforest used to extend for thousands of miles in the south-east of Brazil but now only preserves 10 per cent of its former glory.
