Located in Outeiro das Brisas, in the south of Bahia, the Casa do Largo arises from a fundamental premise: the territory precedes the project. Among reddish cliffs, native forest and the warm light characteristic of the region, the interiors were conceived to establish a direct dialogue with the geology, culture and rhythm of Bahia.

The architecture bears the signature of Paulo Milan, with landscaping by Raul Pereira. It fell to the studio Consuelo Jorge Arquitetos – from the CASACOR São Paulo cast – to interpret the Bahian context and translate its natural strength into sensory, functional and welcoming spaces. The starting point was the ochre earth itself of the cliffs surrounding the site, a tone that guided the entire palette and the selection of materials.

With 750 m², the program houses a family of four and functions as a retreat. The social areas: kitchen, dining, living, home theater and home office, were integrated to favor cross ventilation, natural light and fluidity. Reclaimed wood, especially peroba-rosa, appears as a structuring element of the atmosphere, as do pieces sourced from farms in the south of Minas, which reinforce the idea of permanence, memory and affection. The kitchen lighting fixtures, produced by artisans from the village, bring the project even closer to the local community.

In the five suites, the language remains coherent: natural textures, absence of excesses and materials that absorb time without losing identity. In the powder room, the choice of more rustic finishes highlights the intention not to mask time, but to incorporate it as part of the house's narrative.

The result balances contemporary design and restored or found elements, creating a serene contrast, never strident. Nothing competes with the landscape, everything is arranged to welcome it. Thus, the Casa do Largo synthesizes an approach in which the territory does not follow the interior architecture, it precedes and guides it, defining each aesthetic, material and spatial choice.
