Casa do Alto
A house on the hill, open to the forest
Casa do Alto is Gabriel’s own house in the mountains of Brazil, which he designed and built for his parents as their weekend retreat.
The name means “house on the hill”. Set into a green mountain slope outside Rio de Janeiro, the home gathers timber, terracotta and deep shade into a retreat made for slow afternoons outdoors.
Open pavilions step down the hillside, each one a place to pause: a hammock under the eaves, an outdoor kitchen for long lunches, a lounge looking out to the mountains.
