Inside MRL House, the experience unfolds through light, material, and proportion. A cantilevered volume marks the entrance, leading to a double-height living room that connects two gardens — one facing the sea, the other framing the arrival.

Large glass panels dissolve boundaries, while stone, wood, and water create a sense of continuity throughout the house. On the upper floor, suites open to the coastal view, protected by custom brise-soleils that filter the light and blend the architecture into Paraty’s natural tones.

Designed by Jacobsen Arquitetura, the residence reflects precision, serenity, and a deep connection with its surroundings.
