Panoramic House was designed for a family in search of a new lifestyle in the seaside. An atmosphere of belonging and identity, a panoramic view of the sea, elements of Brazilianness and an ecofriendly construction were some of the premises of the project. The building was camouflaged, in order to enhance the landscapes, through a contemporary architecture of pure elements and horizontal lines enriched by prominent points. Through parametricism, they carry originality and authenticity.
