This unique 8,600-square-foot beach house by Mareines + Patalano Arquitetura was completed in 2008 and is called the Leaf House. Located in Angra dos Reis, Brazil about one hour away from Rio de Janeiro by car, this dwelling has a perfect architecture for the hot and humid climate of the region.
Our favorite feature is the curving swimming pool that goes through the house and becomes a pond when it reaches the rear veranda. Take a look at the beautiful Leaf House in the following photos.
