A Tropical Oasis Embraced by the Amazon Forest | Pupunha House

Discover Pupunha House — a stunning minimalist home that seems to float above the Amazon canopy in Manaus, Brazil. Surrounded by a lush permanent preservation area, this architectural gem blurs the boundaries between nature and design.

Designed with deep respect for the tropical landscape, Pupunha House integrates raw materials like concrete, stone, and glass with abundant vegetation. Its light structure hovers gently above the garden, while sliding glass panels and Brazilian “cobogós” invite natural light, ventilation, and seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Every space embraces the surrounding forest — from the shaded pathways that lead to the entrance to the interiors filled with soft natural light and tropical foliage. The result is a serene and elegant home that redefines modern living in harmony with the Amazon.

🏡 Location: Manaus, Brazil
🌿 Design concept: Integration between architecture and nature

  • Outlook Shelter

    Finding reprieves of green and calm amid the chaos of New York City is no simple task. Governors Island, an 172-acre island just off the southern tip of Manhattan, has filled that need in recent years with a 43-acre public park filled with rolling hills, historic structures, and even a zipline. It’s only a short ferry ride from downtown Manhattan or Brooklyn’s Pier 6 to reach this car-free oasis. Instead of settling for a mere day trip, though, Collective Retreats encourages lingering for a while with its newest endeavor, the Outlook Shelter. Open from May through October, Governors Island combines lush parkland, easily bikeable paths, art installations, nap-inducing hammocks, and trendy food and drink outlets. Even with annual events like the Jazz Age Lawn Party and the Rite of Summer Music Festival packing crowds, Governors Island was devoid of overnight possibilities until summer 2018. That’s when Denver-based Collective Retreats opened the seasonal Collective Governors Island, a menagerie of rustic, stylish tents—some tricked out with private baths—featuring beds wrapped in high thread-count linens and Turkish towels.
