iF Design Award Winner 2026
The TM Project, located in the exclusive Fazenda da Grama, is designed as a sophisticated family home with the ambiance of a luxury retreat. The house features an open-plan layout that connects the living room, TV lounge, games table, fully equipped bar, and gourmet area, all designed to flow seamlessly for both daily living and entertaining. The design incorporates high-end materials such as Moledo stone, Guatemalan green marble, and European oak throughout. The suspended balcony and infinity pool further integrate the house with the landscape. Bedrooms and a dedicated office offer privacy, while maintaining the open, airy feel of the home. All spaces are thoughtfully crafted to complement the stunning views, ensuring a harmonious balance between luxury, functionality, and nature.
The concept for the TM Project evolved from the client's vision of a home that embodies the luxurious ambiance of a high-end hotel while providing the intimate comfort of a private residence. As interior designers, our aim was to create a "welcoming retreat," where every element fosters relaxation and sophistication.
A crucial aspect of this design is the integration with the stunning views. The open-plan layout serves as the centerpiece, meticulously curated to harmonize with the surrounding landscape. Natural tones are prevalent throughout the space, with the warmth of European oak, the earthy shades of Moledo stone, and the rich green of Guatemalan marble creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor environments. This choice of materials is not only about aesthetic appeal but also about enhancing the tactile experience, making the home inviting and timeless.
The living room, TV lounge, and games area are thoughtfully designed to promote social interaction, creating a vibrant atmosphere for gatherings. The expansive gourmet kitchen and dining area, featuring a fully functional bar, are ideal for hosting friends and family, as the family loves to entertain. Every space in the home has been meticulously crafted to ensure comfort and warmth, making sure that each corner feels like a destination in itself. The layout prioritizes hosting, where open communal areas facilitate connection and conversation. Each environment is crafted for comfort, ensuring that every corner of the house feels like a destination.
Additionally, expansive glass walls open the home to its surroundings, allowing nature to become an integral part of the living experience. Features like the suspended balcony and the infinity pool capitalize on the breathtaking views, reinforcing the idea that the landscape is an extension of the home's décor.
Through thoughtful details, such as custom furniture and curated art pieces, the TM Project celebrates a blend of sophistication and comfort. While the design mimics a luxurious hotel experience, it is firmly rooted in the comfort that TWO Architecture prioritizes across all its projects. Each space is tailored to host friends and family while still providing a serene and comfortable retreat for everyday living. The home embodies the spirit of hospitality, ensuring that every gathering is an opportunity for joy and connection, making every moment spent within its walls feel exceptional.
