With landscaping by Ana Veras , the lake surrounds the bungalow, creating a relaxing atmosphere alongside the garden. “We opted for a lake with a more natural appearance, highlighting the exuberance of aquatic plants, such as water lilies and Pontederias, which bloom all year round,” says the landscaper.

Finally, the bathroom occupies a small outdoor area, incorporating elements that already exist on site as part of the project, such as the stone wall and the trees there. To complete the look, the architect used a bathtub designed by her office, entirely carved in Corian , a countertop in raw stone and the Ajajá stool, kindly provided by designer Hugo França for the space.
