Ponte House

Nestled on the shores of Cacupé in Florianopolis, an island off the coast of Brasil, the Ponte House is a stunning example of architecture meeting nature. Designed by Tetro Architecture, this impressive residence doesn't just sit by the sea; it practically reaches out to it. The standout feature? A mind-blowing cantilevered pool that seems to float above the lower bedrooms, extending toward the sea. It creates a seamless visual connection with the horizon, giving the impression that you are swimming right into the ocean.

The house's design is inspired by the iconic Hercilio Luz Bridge, with steel eaves and galvanized railings that mirror the bridge's structure. It is a tribute to the local landscape, blending luxury and nature effortlessly. With panoramic views of the Serra Catarinense mountains and the continental sea, the Ponte House offers a living experience that's as breathtaking as its surroundings.
