Brazilian studio Arthur Casas designed the AL Rio de Janeiro project, a 5,200-square-foot contemporary house located near the Pedra da Gavea dome in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Discovered on The New Yor Times, the house has clean and minimal interiors, with a lot of natural light and breathtaking views of the ocean. On the ground floor are apartments for the gardener and the maid, as well as two guest rooms; the master suite is on the third floor. Visitors enter on the second level, which opens onto the pool, with a view of the ocean beyond.
