Tucked into a pomelo village, near the Vietnamese city of Hue, SILAA architects introduces secluded tranquil homestay Hachi Lily.

Welcome to Rio House, an architecturally captivating concrete home nestled in the lush landscape of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Designed by Olson Kundig in 2018, this house is a testament to harmonious design that masterfully integrates local building traditions.

Resembling a steel-and-glass box that seemingly floats above the land on two concrete piers, Rio House offers breathtaking views of the city, the sea, and the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue. Crafted with materials chosen for both aesthetics and resilience to the humid climate, this eco-conscious home features natural ventilation and a solar water heating system, ensuring functionality even during power outages. Soak up the tranquility from the screened porch, outdoor kitchenette, or by the unique indoor/outdoor fireplace.
