No choice is random, even the positioning of the bed uses neurofengshui tools to ensure more refreshing nights of sleep. And to strengthen the bonds between the couple, the archetype of the Flamingo was represented in a work of art that symbolizes lasting love, fidelity, beauty and elegance. All the materials used refer to nature, such as stones, plants, straw, natural fabrics, organic shapes and, of course, lots of wood.

In collaboration with Domingos Teixeira Marques, a prestigious local artist who has been making jackets for over 50 years, the architect developed an interactive work of art: placed in front of the bed, the pieces that make it up have heads and cylinders carved in wood and details painted with colorful paints. The entire ambiance balances calming colors with straight lines and organic shapes, while natural textures (such as wood, stones and fabrics) provide sensory integration. (Camila Santos)
