The house is defined by a restrained architectural palette of exposed concrete, cumaru wood and glass, allowing the surrounding landscape to remain constantly present. Within that framework, Julliana Camargo introduces warmth through colour, natural stone, Brazilian furniture and objects collected from different regions of the country.

 

Rather than treating the interiors as a separate layer, the studio works closely with the architecture, using material, furniture and craft to soften its strong lines and create a house that feels relaxed, generous and lived in.

 

A PRECISE USE OF COLOUR

 

Colour appears in deliberate moments rather than as an overall gesture. In the kitchen, green and blue steel cabinetry brings a sharper note to the concrete and timber, while elsewhere a curved green sofa and red dining chairs punctuate the quieter material palette.

 

These interventions give individual rooms their own character without breaking the continuity of the house. Natural surfaces remain central: rustic granite from Minas Gerais and Donatello quartzite sit alongside cumaru, glass and concrete, creating a balance between weight, texture and colour.

 

The result is not a conventionally neutral coastal interior. Instead, colour is used selectively, bringing energy to spaces that remain closely connected to the tones and textures of the landscape outside.

 

MADE IN BRAZIL

 

Brazilian design and craft form another important layer of the project. Furniture, lighting and objects were sourced from across the country, including pieces produced in Bahia and works connected to Pataxó and Waurá artisans.

 

Rather than functioning as decoration, these objects give the interiors a stronger cultural and material identity. Contemporary design sits beside traditional making, allowing different forms of Brazilian craft to coexist within the same rooms.

 

This mix also keeps the interior from feeling overly resolved. Pieces with distinct origins, materials and scales are brought together gradually, creating a sense of accumulation rather than a single decorative scheme.
