This Urbane Brazilian Home Brings Efficiency and Minimalism to a Serene Setting

There are times when we admire over-the-top designs and flowery decorating ideas full of grandeur. Then there are occasions when simplicity takes over and reminds you that going down the minimal path is often the best option. If you fall in the latter camp, then you are bound to love the urban minimalism of the BV House and how it combines this with the lush green landscape that surrounds the residence. Set in the lovely neighborhood of Lago Norte in Brasilia, Brazil, the economic residence overlooks a beautiful natural reserve and the greenery around it makes the design of the structure stand out visually ever more!

Transition between the interior and the outdoors is all too natural here and despite the uneven terrain, the house has a footprint that is minimal and planet-friendly.
