A House That Breathes the Forest | Tikira House

ByMyProperty Life

Discover Tikira House, a breathtaking modern retreat nestled at the base of Brazil’s Mantiqueira Mountains. Suspended between trees, light, and silence, this sustainable home blends architecture and nature like few others.

Designed to preserve the native forest and minimize land impact, Tikira House rises partly above the slope and sits partly on an existing plateau, creating a striking balance between floating structure and grounded shelter. Its U-shaped layout frames a central courtyard with panoramic valley views, while large glass façades flood interiors with natural light.

Inside, custom-built cabinetry and Brazilian contemporary furniture combine with handmade pieces to create a warm, inviting atmosphere. Sustainable features include solar panels, rainwater harvesting, gray water treatment, and cross-ventilation, reducing the need for artificial cooling.

Concrete foundations, steel structure, certified wood, and natural finishes harmonize to produce a home that feels rooted in the forest. A separate studio hidden among the trees serves as a creative sanctuary for ceramics, reinforcing the house’s intimate relationship with nature.

Experience how Tikira House transforms the forest’s rhythm into architecture. Watch now to see its thoughtful design, eco-friendly solutions, and breathtaking details that make it a true example of sustainable Brazilian architecture.

  • W Residence

    This is a 150㎡apartment in Taiwan with a strip of horizontal window looking out to the city. The new owner is a three-generation family. The elder favors grandeur, lush marble and rich wood grain; the young couple prefers bright space, light color and relaxing atmosphere. The only common they have is that they need storage and wish to have as much space as possible for children to move freely. We create a neutral background with white ceiling and light wooden floor in which stone and wood-veneer blocks are placed. These blocks are positioned to define space without separate it and serve as storage unit. Sliding-doors and movable-walls convert the space, and hide away secret balcony or chamber in each room. Light flows through the space in between these blocks, and so do the owner’s children. One sees not only the texture of the natural materials, but the spread of light and the panoramic view of the city beyond.
