坐落于巴西的热带雨林中，该栋丛林住宅尽收滨海远景与层层环绕的茂密雨林。住宅仰仗天然的丛林景观，配合起伏的山地地形，恰如其分地融于环境，成为自然景观与人造景观的完美衔接。并在享受绝美精致的同时，保证内部良好的通风与采光。

Located in the tropical rainforest in Brazil, the house enjoys a landscape of the seashore and the surrounding nature. Basing on the natural environment and complies the topography, the architecture is born to be a connection of the nature and the built environment. Being positioned in such a ecological place, the house made itself well ventilated and illuminated by the natural elements.

建筑顺应地势，主体部分于基底抬高形成于自然融合的开放空间。建筑以木材与混凝土作为主要材料，木质甲板贯穿于建筑的各个衔接部分，似是对自然的回应。传统住宅建筑将公共空间及户外泳池安置在下层，较为私密的卧室安排在上层。而建筑一反常态，将私密空间与公共空间颠倒，打造了全新的内部结构。在此规划下，位于底层的儿童游乐活动可以在宽敞舒适、受保护的空间中进行，并在更加亲近自然的环境中享受欢乐。

The main volume is raised by two pillars to adjust the site, and thus forms an half-opened ground floor. By using wood, the house shows its friendliness to its surroundings. The normal residential usually places the living spaces like kitchen, living room and swimming pool on the lower floor, and places the bedrooms which are more private on the upper floor. However, this house has the reversed situation. Children’s rooms are placed on the ground floor. Within the protection and the close relationship with the natural environment, the children’s activities are more enjoyable.

建筑共三层，从底层开始，设计简单的楼梯便如外来之物一般，穿透厚重的混凝土结构，指引人在各层空间中穿行。拾级而上，来访者可以在主入口处观察到装饰感极强的灯饰围合在混凝土墙壁中间。随着楼梯的指引，来访者便步入二层的私密空间。该层包含六间卧室，其中五间卧室配有阳台与半室外吊床，另外该层还有一间装有电视的起居室。卧室可灵活移动的百叶窗和遮阳板，令居住者可以依据气候和天气的变化调节室内微气候。

The architecture is composed of three floors. The stair, for which from the ground floor,  acts like a stranger that breaks into the concrete slab and leads people to different layers. Stepping on the stairs, one could recognize the sculptured light in-between the concrete walls. Arriving on the first floor, one will arrive the most private places of this house. There locates six bedrooms, of which five of them have balconies and hammocks, and a living room with television. The louvers and the sun-shading boards enable the occupants to attempter the sunlight and winds to arrange a better living condition.

该住宅的另一个特别之处在于其与景观的互动关系。底层的绿植将人层层环绕，中间层的阳光穿透了茂密的树冠抵达这里，屋顶的露天夹板则以远山、绿林、大海为背景墙，远近呼应、相互依存。

The vegetations on the ground floor surrounds the occupants; the sunlight goes through the crowns to arrive in the middle levels; and the open terrence see mountain, forest and sea as its background, of which all of them together make this house unique.
