Simply the most breathtaking home I’ve seen in awhile, located in Minas Gerais, Brazil, Ulisses Morato managed to construct this modern design using mostly local materials and workmanship. I appreciate any architecture that takes full advantage of it’s location both in design, materials and geography. The first floor being completely transparent so that it highlights the boundless views and the glass walls open for complete exposure to the benefits of the Brazilian climate. Thanks to Swipelife for finding this gem, more pictures of this after the jump.

  Completely unrelated to the post…

  So guys, I love the site, seriously thank you. But the backgrounds… not working. As a daily visitor to the site, (I don’t know whether its just me) but the backgrounds just make it really hard to focus my eyes on the content. I’m sure they’re all cool as stand alone art/graphics, but here they just make my head hurt… a lot. To end on a lighter note the content is, as always, great.

  Hey G., you’re right, some of them aren’t working…we’re still working on it. Thanks for the feedback and love.
