PRAIA BRAVA HOUSE •
Also known as Bravíssima House, is a contemporary coastal residence by Studio Arthur Casas in Santa Catarina, Brazil. Set on a steep site between the Atlantic Forest and ocean, the architecture follows the natural topography, using horizontal volumes and framed openings to connect interior spaces with the landscape.
The existing structural skeleton was reconfigured to create a fluid sequence of social and private spaces, with living areas, terraces and pool oriented toward the sea. Timber, stone, plaster and limestone establish a restrained material palette, while cross-ventilation and natural light reinforce its climate-responsive approach.
]The project has received international recognition, including the DNA Paris Design Award 2026 and Robb Report Design Award 2026, and has been featured by est living.
