This contemporary home was completed in Brazil in 2016, for a couple and their small child.
The ‘cobogó’ (Brazilian void concrete blocks) are a key feature of the property both visually and functionally – ensuring the privacy of the property, whilst allowing the occupants a view of the striking Brazilian sunset.
