With clay tiles, biribas, jute and lots of vegetation, landscapers Maira and Kaio Duarte transformed the Varanda Raízes do Cerrado into a little piece of the Brazilian savannah. The inspiration – and the vegetation – for this space, created in partnership with architect Natalia Lemos, comes from the resilient biome with a high adaptability that so well represents the depths of Brazil. The presence of clay helps to further highlight the plants used here, which, although they live practically alone, have been given an automated irrigation system. “It is a practical, simple project that requires low maintenance and little watering.”
