Reused Shipping Container, Wood and Concrete Shape This Cozy Refuge in Brazil

ByMyProperty Life

A getaway that surrounds you with greenery beautiful views of Serra do Mar in the distance, the Bosque Refuge designed by Bruno Zaitter arquiteto is for those who wish to escape bright lights of big cities. This cool Brazilian cabin was crafted using a shipping container that has been recycled to create a comfy and cozy refuge. The entire cabin on the outside has been covered in wood while the additional spaces around the cabin have been made using concrete as the structural element. Large wooden decks extend the living area outside in a simple and elegant fashion while glass doors connect the living area with the vibrant natural beauty just outside.

On the inside, the cabin is draped entirely in wood apart from the glass walls that bring in loads of natural light. Décor and decorating style feels both cozy and minimal and you have a bedroom that allows you to escape all your woes by taking you away from the usual and the mundane. Designed to have minimal environmental impact, the cabin feels like an extension of the landscape at times. Wood is the element that connects the interior with the outdoor spaces and views from the deck leave you spellbound. [Photography: Sergio Mendonça Jr. / Ale Carnieri / Bruno Zaitter]

  • Villa Pizzorusso

    One of the most remarkable Puglia villa rentals available, this restored 16th-century masseria (fortified farmhouse) stands proudly on the ancient Appian Way. If you are looking for a luxurious holiday retreat brimming with character and history, this stunning property is for you. Deep in the countryside and surrounded by olive groves, Villa Pizzorusso is the ideal place to get away from it all. The secluded gardens, filled with orange trees and aromatic herbs, are wonderfully private, and you’ll love the magnificent 80 ft (25 m) swimming pool. Enjoy a morning coffee or early evening aperitif on the extensive first-floor terrace and take in the views across the peaceful landscape. The character of the grand old masseria is still in evidence throughout. Enter the interior through the arched portal and step into a world of barrel-vaulted ceilings, stone arches and a wealth of period details that wouldn’t look out of place on a film set. Different parts of the building date from different eras: the main wing, complete with five cupolas and frescoed ceilings, was added in the 18th century, while the main living area – including an open-plan kitchen – is located within the 17th-century stables. There’s plenty of space to accommodate up to twelve guests. Each bedroom is air-conditioned and simply furnished with neutral tones and traditional wood furniture, while the bathrooms feature striking contemporary fixtures. Four of the bedrooms are located in the main villa with the two upstairs bedrooms having private entrances and secluded access from the ground floor, while two more are located in a smaller stone building in the courtyard. There is much to see and do in the area – from the beaches of the Ionian and Adriatic coasts, to the whimsical conical architecture of the local trulli dwellings. Gourmet travelers should stop at the charming local market town of Mesagne, with its bakeries, wine co-ops and cheese shops (the fresh mozzarella and ricotta are made daily). Puglia is also rich in picturesque medieval cities, such as Ostuni and Otranto, their atmospheric narrow streets lined with an abundance of restaurants specializing in the delectable local cuisine.
