Indoors
Boasting a private, seven-suite villa wih bathrooms and a separate two-bedroom studio, the property is set on the edge of a protected forest within a lofty and secluded location. Such sights as Sugarloaf Mountain, Guanabara Bay, and the city rooftops provide impressive backdrops from various vantage points—including the living room with expansive windows, the patio with its vaulted concrete pergola, and the 360-degree viewing point on the roof.
Entering through beautiful concrete arches and a stunning six-meter-high wooden door that overlooks Santa Teresa and the bay beyond, one is immersed in a space of meticulously crafted textiles, bamboo sheets, and cushions carefully chosen in Thailand and Europe.
A music-lovers dream, the entire house is hooked up to a state-of-the-art music production room—situated below the welcoming 14-meter-long pool—transforming the villa into a huge recording studio.
