In the Serra de Apacurana, within the Casa Carnasciali Winery and protected by nature, is Chalé da Mata. With a project signed by the architect Coelho Neto, the chalet was not built over the forest, but around it: in order not to have to cut down a single tree, the plan was calculated to the millimeter. There are centimeters that separate, for example, the tip of the roof of the chalet from a tree on the land.
So that the guest has a privileged view and maximum contact with nature, most of the walls of the 35m² chalet are made of tempered glass. The other main material, wood, is from reforestation, and creates a cozy atmosphere in this perfect accommodation for a couple who want to relax, have a good wine and enjoy the native forest of Apucarana.
At this week’s Open House, I’ll take you to discover Chalé da Mata. I had a super interesting chat with Coelho Neto about the project and its highlights. If you love decor cozy, full of wood and which values authentic and respectful contact with nature, the video is worth checking out! Here on the blog, I separated more photos of the chalet and also a conversation I had with the architect.
