In a coastal town approximately an hour and a half from Rio de Janeiro, nestled betwixt the chlorophyll-rich forest and glittering blue waters of the sea of Mangaratiba, sits the beautiful Patious house, with a serious architectural pedigree, sensational views, and a landscape design that is the culmination of several garden ideas woven into one.
Patious house is the product Studio MK27, and the landscaping is by designer Rodrigo Oliveira, who could see, right from the very first site visit, that negotiating the sloping topography and the varying visual openings of the land – the dense riparian vegetation on one side and the beach on the other – would be both physically and intellectually challenging.
