Eco House by Mateus Castilho Arquitetura: A Summer Retreat in Brazil
Completed in 2025, Eco House is a residential project spanning 550 m², created by Mateus Castilho Arquitetura. The concept originated in 2020, driven by a couple's wish for a summer retreat that emphasizes relaxation and socializing with loved ones. The architecture firm collaborated on selecting the site, aiming to design a home that is inviting and harmoniously integrated with its environment. The project team features Sarah Machado (collaboration) and Tainah Drummond (text review), while landscape architecture was handled by André Orsini and civil engineering by Engeplan. Manuel Sá captured the photographs. Curated by Susanna Moreira, the project is classified under Residential Architecture and Houses, with contributions from manufacturers Agnaldo Martins and Vito Quintans.
