Florianópolis is an island located on the southern coast of Brazil, where nature manifests itself exuberantly, especially through the sea and mountains. Its beaches with crystal clear waters and white sand stand out from others in the country due to the striking presence of rocks in the middle of the sea.

The challenge here is not only to preserve nature but to reinforce the place magic. Feel the sun and hide from it. Feel the beauty of the mangroves... also the sand. Fluid shapes designing the landscape, with materials that explore known colors.

At Acaso House, blocks arranged in an almost random fashion form a sculpture garden. The delight of the inhabitants is divided between contemplating the spectacular view of the mountains and contact with the small waterfalls formed on rainy days. Nature and art.
