Nestled between the modernist air of Brasília and the natural landscape, Alecrim Dreams offers a unique and serene experience for those looking to escape the pressures of daily life and reconnect with nature. The project comprises a collection of minimalist houses designed to seamlessly blend with their surroundings.
The project, designed by Brazilian architect Alan Chu, who used to collaborate with Isay Weinfeld as head of his creative team design, is a true ode to relaxation and slow living, with every aspect of the design thoughtfully considered to promote a sense of calm and tranquility.
One of the standout features of the Alecrim Dreams is the use of natural light throughout the design. Large windows not only create a sense of spaciousness but also bring the beauty of the surrounding nature into the home, highlighting the neutral color palette and accentuating the clean lines and simple forms. The open floor plan seamlessly blends the indoors with the outdoors, creating a sense of continuity and connection to the natural surroundings.
The property boasts a lush lavender field, which is not only a stunning feature but also a source for the production of the owners' own line of organic lavender oil products.
The project was commissioned by the owners, who have been the guardians of the place for 20 years, planting all the trees and the lavender field. The houses are designed to be a sanctuary of relaxation and peacefulness, from the small patios that offer intimate spaces for contemplation to the minimalist design that eliminates distractions.
It serves as a model for sustainable and mindful living and an invitation for visitors to immerse and enjoy the slow and good living philosophy of the owners.
