Inside a Breathtaking Brazilian Inspired Super House Engulfed in Nature (House Tour)
Ойын-сауық
An inspired super house leveraging its unique site nestled between the calm waters of Pittwater, the surf beach of Avalon and bushland in Clareville on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, M House envelopes the landscape in its very structure in an alluring and profound way. Rama Architects creates a home that viscerally connects inhabitants to the surrounding landscape while maintaining a sense of privacy and tranquillity.
Grounded in the idea that form follows function, this inspired super house is functional first, then focuses on layout and flow. As such, Rama Architects responded to the client's brief to create a Brazilian modernist-style home. This style is based on creating a sense of transparency and connection to surrounding waterways while maintaining a feeling of sanctuary.
With a tangible indoor-outdoor connection, there is an immediate sense of tranquillity as the plantings engulf the architecture of the home’s structure. Upon entering the inspired super house, one is greeted with a courtyard that welcomes filtered light through the above tree canopy. The home is delineated by floor-to-ceiling glass doors and leans heavily into subtropical design principles and Brazilian modernist philosophies surrounding the prioritisation of natural light and ventilation. Plants cascade down from the rooftop and are visible from every room, once again reiterating an appreciation of the beachside locale. Similarly, the main living area releases with ease to the water and western horizon beyond, while a sunken lounge is incorporated to align with the Brazilian modernist typology of the inspired super house and ensures no couches or furniture distract from the view.
The M House is grounded in a connection between masculine and feminine materials, which creates a juxtaposition of feeling safe but also vulnerable within the home. For example, privacy is created through the dominant brutal front façade and greenery engulfing the building. Similarly, a restrained palette of materials - including grey sandstone, concrete and tallowwood timber - speaks to a distinct modernist influence and creates a warmth that references the surrounding nature.
In this essence, Rama Architects balances an interpretation of modernism, the easy dialogue that prevails between nature and built form, and an expressive brutalist quality. The result is an inspired super house that evokes a tangible emotional connection between the inhabitants and the architecture of the home.

I hope the Local Project can someday visit Brazil. There are amazing architectural homes all over that blends majestically with nature.
I love the retro feel of this Brazilian inspired home. The sunken living room and those couches, the timer ceilings, the outdoor spaces. It all works so well together!
it is abundantly clear that the architect has accomplished something truly remarkable. this home's deep connection to nature evoked in me a profound sense of expansiveness and aliveness that was impossible to ignore.
I love everything you guys do. From your imagery to the way the owners, architects and builders tell the stories, and even the musical choices, its all so wonderful. I always look to start my day with a Local Project video, it just puts me in a great mood! Thank you for everything you do in shoecasing these beautiful homes! So inspiring!

Incredible design by Rama Architects! The blend of Brazilian modernism and subtropical elements is seamless. We are especially struck by how the home balances privacy and openness, all while staying in harmony with nature. Kudos to everyone involved in this project!
That's glorious. The music wasn't intrusive, accessibly described by the architect rather than the usual arty word salad, good job and wonderful building :)
This house is just breathtaking I would sell my soul to live there!
Stunning work by Rama Architects! The fusion of Brazilian modernism and subtropical features is absolutely remarkable. What truly stands out is the way this residence effortlessly blends privacy and openness, all while maintaining a perfect harmony with its natural surroundings. A big round of applause to all those who contributed to this exceptional project!
Es mi casa favorita. Atemporal, cálida, elegante, sin estridencias, sólida y suave a la vez. Sincera y rica en todos los sentidos. Hermosa.
Wonderful project! I appreciate the irony of it being Brazilian-inspired despite less than 1% of Brazilian citizens being able to afford a house like this. Cheers!

Uma casa dos sonhos ,belíssimo projeto !
2:54 Very thoughtful and tasteful to have a sunk in family room. It increases area not just in ceiling height but in perception too. Love it!
WOW! Congratulations on this fabulous project!!! Hello from São Paulo, Brazil!!
I love everything about that design, and that car too, even its colour. The client clearly has extremely good taste and the architect's aesthetic vision is very strong yet subtle. I bet the build was horribly expensive though. Totally worth it, if you have the funds.
The marrakesh is PERFECT for that stunning primary bathroom! 😍
love how the void and glass opening bring sunlight to the rooms inside

so que meteram um monte de coisa retro e cafona junto e o carro lembra mais cuba, méxico ou argentina, parece que gringo quando pensa no brasil só lembra de coisas antigas, a incoerencia é pq seria junto da "arquitetura futurista brasileira", colocase no minimo um carro exócito moderno lá.
Awesome, this is my kind of house: sober, clean, green. Flawless masterpiece.
This channel never disappoints. I love every single video and design.

I'm in love with this house. The design, the texture and the color scheme, the openness that allows the sun to peek through softly, and the beauty of nature, so cool, they all blend in. It's brilliant! The designers and architects of this project are geniuses!
Love the sunken living area. We need more of these. A very textural home with an amazing view and gardens topped off by a classic Mustang! Well done.

@@TheLocalProject In the context of a grand architectural masterpiece like this, a sunken lounge appeals to some, after all this measure of wealth brings a house cleaning team and a presumption of able-bodied family members. But I hate them with a passion as a family with members with a disability; and the cleaning aspect, they are useless for high tech homes utilising AI for robot vacuuming and mopping.
Absolutely wonderful in every aspect! Breathtaking views and colors and materials. What a privilege to live there!
Blown. Away. Absolutely incredible.
Absolutely stunning!!!
Incredible project, love the void and the stonework throughout.
It's already a masterpiece in itself. The build and how it was blended with the nature. So satisfying. 💯🥰
Spectacular home, congrats to the architect and client
Although I find it a bit to dark, I can not say anything more then beautiful. The implantation of nature so close around the house is really good done.
Good Architecture satisfies the needs of the People who will use the space created. Great Architecture satisfies the needs of Generations of People who will use the space for many years to come. This House does both.
Amazing home! I think this one is probably my very favorite! Gorgeous!
So good. Great episode and stunning home 👏

Stunning home!
The home is very warm. The use of wood in the ceiling warms the home. I love the use of planta to soften the home. The floor to ceiling windows are fantastic since it allows the view to be enjoyed throughout the home. It's a very lovely home.
Beautiful home in a wonderful space. Bravo!

Wow, I rarely leave comments, but I couldn't resist this time. This house tour left me in absolute awe! I'm in awe of every detail, from the open water backyard view to the cozy, homey atmosphere with all those lovely plants. I can only hope that if I'm ever fortunate enough to buy a house for my parents, it'll be as stunning as this one. Kudos for creating such a dreamy space!
Beautiful ❤
Brazilian vibe is perfect
Amazing. Really captures the imagination, especially with the classic car thrown in 😄👏👏👏👏
Nice house on a very nice location

Glorious.
This one definitely steps into my top favs on this channel. The balance achieved is so beautiful. I especially love the dark, moody blue couch, yet it's soft and velvety to touch. The yellow pillows compliment it _so_ well. And of course, the greens and oranges throughout the home combined all bring about the perfect nature palette. Ugh, so good.

Simply gorgeous. Adding a personal sound to the identity of this ‘living’ is pure genius. A brilliant concept similar to having a designer develop a fragrance for you only. I strongly believe that the difference between ‘liking’ your home and ‘loving’ it strongly depends on it’s unique qualities. Just like we tend to love the peculiarities of our partners, a creaky floorboard might become as endearing to you as your partner’s wonky eye, adding to the overall sense of familiarity. In design a lot of effort goes into the visual aspects of creating your space but feeling ‘at home’ could actually depend on easily overlooked factors like ‘familiar’ smells and the soundscape that constantly embraces us on a subconscious level. Deliberately adding a personalized sound to your home could in fact help your trigger auditive memories and anchored emotions decades later. Be it the smell of homemade bread or grandfather’s old mantelpiece clock, there are many factors that go into the recipe of ‘making a home’ 🏡
what a grandiose project! does anyone know what outdoor furniture (the green deck chairs and the dining table) is involved here?
I love the style, but its far too dark for me.
It’s a gorgeous project

I love the Local Project. They keep finding such amazing projects by amazing architects that are hidden from the world. I just love each and every video these guys produce. And regarding this house... oh well, it is definitely worthy of a dream house. Absolutely loved it. Especially what they did to the balcony. No glass railings and low height parapet walls with lights in them and receeded away from the border for safety as well as providing space for planters to grow. Love every such detail.
