Designed by Mareines Arquitetura, Wave House is located on the Tijucas Islands in Rio de Janeiro, on a plot 65 meters above sea level, on a steep granite monolith. The orientation means that the residence has views only of the sea and the sky, complemented by the sound of the water, wind, birds and the collision of boat hulls with the ocean waves.
