Terrace House by Costaveras Arquitetura

Founded in 2003, Costaveras Arquitetura has established itself as one of Brazil’s leading high-end architecture studios, renowned for creating contemporary residences and landmark residential developments with a distinctive architectural identity. Led by architects Juliano Costa and Bruno Veras, the practice combines technical excellence with creative vision to deliver luxury architecture that is functional, timeless, and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Specialising in luxury villa architecture, exclusive private residences, and premium residential developments, Costaveras approaches every project as a complete architectural experience. Rather than focusing solely on façades or interiors, the studio carefully integrates layout, materials, landscape, natural light, ventilation, and construction details to create homes that are both visually striking and exceptionally comfortable. Honest materials including exposed concrete, natural wood, steel, and stone are thoughtfully combined with clean lines, balanced volumes, and refined detailing to produce architecture with lasting character.

This commitment to excellence has been recognised with a Luxury Lifestyle Awards victory in the category of Best Luxury Villa Architecture in Brazil for Terrace House (Casa Terraço).

Designed around the concept of connection, Terrace House seamlessly blends architecture, landscape, and social living. Expansive open-plan interiors flow effortlessly onto generous outdoor spaces, while full-height openings maximise natural light, cross-ventilation, and uninterrupted interaction between indoor and outdoor environments. Carefully composed façades featuring brise-soleils, canopies, and pivoting panels create rhythm, movement, and climate responsiveness while maintaining a timeless architectural language.

The residence’s defining feature is its elevated terrace, complemented by a longitudinal swimming pool that follows the geometry of the site and strengthens the relationship between the home’s living spaces. Every design decision enhances comfort, openness, and the experience of everyday living.

Through projects such as Terrace House, Costaveras Arquitetura continues to demonstrate why it is recognised among Brazil’s premier luxury architecture firms, delivering bespoke homes where innovation, functionality, sustainability, and refined contemporary design come together in perfect harmony.
