Stunning Summerhouse with Rustic Beauty Engulfed in Piassaba Roof

A dream summer house that takes us away from all the constant rush is one that we all long for. It offers the perfect refuge and brings everyone in the family together while creating memories that last a lifetime. Designed with plenty of vernacular charm and rustic appeal, the Nomades House in Brazil fits in perfectly with the image of a picture-perfect vacation home in this part of the globe! A Mareines Arquitetura creation, the house is unique in more ways than one and yet feels like a structure that perfectly reflects traditional Brazilian values and a love for outdoor living that is so very innate to people of this land.

Wooden walkway leads to the summer house with modern beach style












One of the instantly noticeable features of the house is the use of piassaba roof for every section of the vacation home that gives it its ‘vernacular’ look. On the inside though, the house is much more modern with white and wood taking over in every room. Rattan and bamboo furniture in every room adds to the coastal-chic theme of the summer house and the sandy entrance along with walkways allows the homeowners to spend as much time outdoors as inside.

  • Mercer Modern

    Mercer Modern is a midcentury home located on a hillside on a 15,539 SF lot in Mercer Island, WA overlooking Lake Washington. The original house had great bones but was disconnected from the outdoors. Wittman Estes wanted to give the family a way to live outside and connect with their Southern California roots. Originally built in 1969, the post and beam structure had fallen into disrepair, and had a layout that was out of sync with the casual modern lifestyle for a young family with two children. The owner is Melanie Owen, a fashion designer with a keen interest in interior design and outdoor living. Originally from Southern California, her design sensibilities were rooted in SoCal surfer culture and the casual and open vibes of beach living. Both Melanie and her husband, Matt, work in fashion and clothing and have deep interests in texture, materiality, and a spaces with a comfortable lived-in feeling. Ms. Owen’s roots in Southern California brought a love for bright, light tones, and simple open spaces. Together with the architect, this vibe was mixed with Pacific Northwest traditions of wood tones and highly crafted built-in furniture. The goal was to create spaces that had both the qualities of Southern California modernism with a warmer, high quality carpentry that the Puget Sound region is known for. The outdoor deck has a ipe decking and built in seating. Cedar slat walls screen the neighboring houses while allowing the sunlight to filter through the screens. The kitchen was reconfigured to orient to the outdoors encourage an easy connection between the living room, dining room, and outdoor space. A concrete and glass stair connect the upper terrace to the garden and landscape. “We sought to connect the spaces in so the family could be relaxed and cruise barefoot going indoors and out”, says Wittman. The breezy and lightweight feeling of the material palette encourages the family to step outside and connect with the sunlight and views over Lake Washington and towards the downtown Seattle skyline.
