The couple worked with Dayala + Rafael Estúdio de Arquitetura to design the home, located on a gently sloping property.

The architects found the greatest challenge of designing the home was providing the maximum amount of integration with the surrounding landscape, while also maintaining privacy for the family.

They achieved this privacy by designing the front of the home (street side) to have large expansive walls with few windows, while the back of the home is wide open to take advantage of the views.
