Bernardes Arquitetura, a Rio De Janeiro-based firm, has completed a luxury villa topped with a unique roof design. The home is called Asa House, as "asa" means "wing" in Portugese.
The home sits atop a hill and enjoys sweeping views of the lush Brazilian scenerary. The home sits on a sunken lot and was designed with the intention of creating a distinct relationship between nature and architecture. The home has a long row of full-height sliding glass walls which connects the indoors with the outdoors. The landscaping for the home was designed using plants native to the Atlantic Rainforest.
The focal point of the home is the wing-shaped roof - a smoothly curved shelter that can be admired inside the living spaces.
