Tropical House Book: Houses by Jacobsen Architecture

Jacobsen Arquitetura, the main Brazilian architecture office created by Paulo and Bernardo Jacobsen, is known for its clean lines, union with nature and bright spaces. This monograph presents twenty-five of his beautiful houses, all created with the exuberant nature of Brazil in mind.

Each home includes a brief design text by renowned architecture critic Philip Jodidio, as well as a selection of drawings and floor plans. The volume opens with an essay focusing on the global influence of Jacobsen Architecture's work and ends with a brief section featuring representations of homes still under construction in Europe, the Middle East and the Caribbean. Fully illustrated with photographs specially commissioned for this book, Casa Tropical places each house in the context of diverse terrains and climates, making it a welcome resource for architects and designers.
