The exhibition will be open from April 24 to May 26.The property chosen is Quinta Mc Kenney, a large house from the 1930s that houses several examples of local flora. Around 10 gardens are home to species such as Achachairu, coconut trees, avocado trees, tamarinds and mangoes. The area is 3,000 m² , of which 700 m² has been built, with several changes over time. Some original elements have survived, such as the almost 50 m long swimming pool, generous doors and windows and other features of the post-modern period.Now, it's time for a major renovation - literally. "Casa Viva" has incorporated simple natural materials into a sophisticated version, in its design and finishes. Green fulfills the mission of creating experiences and connecting people, with themselves and with others. It's no coincidence that the tones of the foliage are a confirmed trend, as is Ultra Violet , which refers to spirituality.
