FIG HOUSE is a project designed by Stemmer Rodrigues Arquitetura. The ancient and sculptural fig tree (figueira, in Portuguese), with the organic nature of its branches, contrasts with the hardness of the concrete structure on the façade. It houses the bedrooms in the upper floor, and it protects the dwelling from the harsh, polar winds blowing from the south. On the ground floor, a longitudinal structure of Corten steel and glass protrude the living space towards the water. Photography by Marcelo Donadussi
