NEBR Arquitetura's Casa Branca Integrates Home and Studio Around Tree in Brazilian Forest
NEBR arquitetura has completed Casa Branca, a combined residence and studio in Brazil's Zona da Mata region of Pernambuco. The project centers around an existing tree, with architecture organized to mediate between built form and natural environment. Designed as a single compact volume with white perforated facades, the structure balances linear and curved geometries while incorporating local materials and crafts. The interior features polished cement flooring in blue tones and textured wall finishes, creating contrast with the neutral exterior. The design responds to the humid tropical climate and dense vegetation of the Atlantic Forest region, integrating contemporary architectural approaches with regional practices.
