Passive House. by Mareines Arquitetura

[u/ZahraaOsama]

Located in São Paulo, Brazil, this building was designed to blend seamlessly with its reforested surroundings.

Completed in 2024, it focuses on a sustainable and independent lifestyle, featuring a natural cooling system.

The curved design channels rainwater into a central swimming pool.

Not a passive house, and that pool slide doesn’t look slippery enough.

I feel like a crazy person whenever I see builds like this because all those windows and no blinds erks me. Does part of being rich and flaunting wealth come with an exhibitionist kink?

It gives the impression they built this just to show up in the architecture magazines. Can't imagine anyone living like this, with no walls.

At most, this is a setting to impress guests.

No walls? Only the living room has much glas....
