Following the conclusion of the recent football World Cup, Rio de Janeiro’s captivating allure has been brought into focus for many, although its incredible diversity and vibrant nightlife were already well-known. For Alex Lerner, host of a Brazilian television show, Rio’s charm has always been irresistible. Desiring a mesmerizing yet secluded retreat within the city, offering the finest ocean views, he discovered the thrilling AL House, which provides precisely that and much more.
After an extensive search, Alex discovered a serene parcel of land nestled amidst natural canopy in the hills of São Conrado. Collaborating with architect Arthur Casas, Alex’s vision for the ideal residence was brought to fruition, elevated to new heights with semi-minimalist aesthetics and a daring fusion of textures. The centerpiece of this 5,200-square-foot home is its lavish outdoor pool and exquisite deck area, offering panoramic views of Rio’s vibrant coastline and the vast ocean beyond.
With Alex’s specific request for the interior to emulate the stone color of the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the architect meticulously integrated this element while introducing wood and glass to maintain visual harmony. Seamlessly connecting the living area with the outdoor deck, the design ensures effortless flow between spaces, while the cozy private bedrooms provide uninterrupted vistas of the distant waves. As night falls, this remarkable home truly comes to life, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of Rio at its most dazzling.
