A Breezy Tropical Getaway

I've been wanting to show you this home for quite some time now.  It's a tropical getaway in Brazil for the Fernandes Family and was designed by Thiago Bernardes of Rio De Janeiro.   This rustic beach house is located in a remote area and the only way for the family to get there is by boat or helicopter. 



The double height veranda with open doors allows the sea breezes to pass through the home.


The family room has a ceiling woven of straw.


Visiting friends anchor their boats right on the beach.

This walkway with eucalyptus railings, leads from the master bedroom to the children's room.
