Interview: The Vision of Jacobsen Inside a Suspended Beach House in Rio de Janeiro

In Paraty, on Brazil’s southeastern coast, MRL House was designed by Jacobsen Arquitetura to merge architecture, landscape, and sea. The L-shaped layout opens the living areas toward the ocean while preserving a sense of intimacy and flow between the gardens.

Natural materials, generous glass openings, and precise wood detailing highlight the project’s lightness and craftsmanship, an expression of refined construction where every element connects to the surrounding environment.
