Unique house designed by Marcio Kogan

Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro Brasil

This house is located in one of the most sought-after gated communities in Rio’s mountain range. Called Casa de Vidro, or the “glass house”, it was designed by the architect Marcio Kogan, gaining a lot of attention from several national and international architecture magazines. With over 6,500 square meters of land, this property is surrounded by an exuberant natural landscape, with a clear-water creek running through the trees. Inside, the house comprises a wide living area, a dining room with a table that seats up to 10 people, a fully-equipped open-plan kitchen, a fireplace and a half bath. There are four bedrooms in the sleeping area, all with en-suite bathrooms, balconies and windows with brise-soleil. There also is a swimming pool, a whirlpool bathtub and a steam room, as well as heating throughout the entire house.
