The architects Mareines +Patalano (http://www.mareines-patalano.com.br/)were inspired by Brazil's Indian architecture to produce this flowering roof, low-tech eco-efficiency creation. Perfectly suited for the hot and humid climate where it stands in Rio de Janeiro .The roof acts as a big leaf that protects from the hot sun all the enclosed spaces of the house, such as the verandas and the in-between open spaces. These last two types of space are the main social areas, the essence of the design. They allow trade winds from the sea to pass trough the building, providing natural ventilation and passive cooling. There are no corridors and inside and outside are almost fused. Rainwater is harvested from the roof for re-use. With its natural finishes, organic aesthetics and richness of details, the house is in harmony with the exuberant Brazilian nature.
